[IRCA] 1017-Tonga Mystery

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
This morning at the "Rockwork 4" Oregon cliff a pretty vibrant DU signal was recorded from 1203-1206 UTC on 1017 kHz (with some domestic splatter) having Polynesian-type choral music and a YL speaking in an unknown language. The entire routine sounded very much like a sign-off message, but Bruce recorded a sign-off from this presumed 1017-Tonga around 1108 UTC a day earlier during the Yachats DXpedition. The format certainly doesn't sound anything like the NZ Radio Sport/ Newstalk ZB or the Aussie horse-racing station 2KY. Any ideas would be appreciated-- maybe Tonga signing off an hour later than usual?
