[IRCA] 990-Fiji Gold Cyclone Information

[Gary DeBock <d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For Kiwi transplant Tony Ward, this is one of hundreds of DU-DX recordings made on the ocean beach of Aitutaki in the Cook Islands. A cyclone was passing through Fiji waters on April 10th, affecting not only Fiji but Walt's nearby cruise ship. At 0812 UTC 990-Fiji Gold's announcer gives the current cyclone status, along with advice that if listeners' FM signal is knocked out by the cyclone, they should tune to the AM frequency of 990. As with almost every other DU-DX target in Aitutaki, Fiji Gold hits a thunderous S9 level during the recording, and shows no mercy to a weak ANZ co-channel. This MP3 was recorded on the hot-rodded (7.5" loopstick) C.Crane Skywave SSB Ultralight alone  https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/b5may3rbr5kuuwbus18lr4hala57x1vb
