A quick check of the SDR recording here says that 738 was visiting
Puyallup at that time, Gary. Definitely there was audio, and it is
recognizably the same song, but not at your level, more like
"normal" for here. Maybe it's been peeling the paint down there all
summer, and you never knew, hi.

Hello All, The new DX season started off with a bang here this
morning as 738-Radio Polynesie somehow managed its best-ever audio
here in the pedestrian DXing location of Puyallup. Although
expectations were low for this first day of September (and the
Asians seemed to live up to the low expectations), the signal from
Tahiti was almost at ocean cliff strength-- quite a shocker. A check
of the band at the 1300 start time revealed only a collection of
anemic Asian big guns with intermittent audio on 828, 972 and 1566.
Knowing that the "K" index was high I checked for South Pacific
propagation, and as usual only 738-Tahiti was showing any sign of
life from south of the Equator. Around 1315 Tahiti started going on
a romp with its French disco music, reaching an unprecedented level
(for this location) around 1318. This might be partially related to
the larger 15" FSL antenna being used here this season, but in any
case the signal was almost worthy of a "Cliffhanger DXing" session.
The Asians never developed much energy here this morning, with only
1566-HLAZ reaching a fair level around 1305. There was a large
collection of moderate Chinese carriers on 639, 936, 1017, 1323,
1377 and 1593 this morning but none of these could manage any audio.
Overall it was strictly a 738-Tahiti show here this morning, and it
will be interesting to know if some other DXers noticed its potent
signal. 738 Radio Polynesie Mahina, Tahiti Strong French disco
music at 1318; best signal ever heard here in
