Re: [IRCA] more notes from Chris Martin: Radio Fiji AM Frq

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

Nick,

Thanks for the update. Apparently a switch-a-roo of powers. In 1980, 774
replaced 711 and they boosted from 10 to 20 KW. 774 was a powerhouse in
those days along with 891. I remember noting that 774 was a good signal
compared to 711 that always suffered from KIRO 710 QRM. I have all of
the Fijian frequencies heard & QSL'd from back from the late 70s to
1994. 558, 639, 684, 711, 774, 810, 891, 927, 1152, 1206, 1323, and
1467. Plus 890 in the early 70s.  I think there was a portable 1 KW rig
for emergencies listed, but if they were ever on, I never logged them. I
remember in the early 80s listening to the great EE/ Fijian programming
on 891, then shortly later they moved to Hindi. Ah the good ol' days.

73,

Patrick
