Hi Walt,
Thanks very much--I'll take Fiji, new for me!
I had nothing but weak hets at the top of the band, even 1566. I always 
check all the MW channels; in CW mode and 9 kHz tuning it takes a minute or 
so to quickly check all the channels, then going back to the ones with the 
loudest hets to hunt for audio, but 639 for awhile so so strong that I sat 
on it, enjoying the good signal and music.
Steve
