Thanks for the comparison, Nick!
 
Actually, since 738-Tahiti was practically the only show here this morning, I was recording 738 during that entire disco song (from beginning to end)-- so our recordings overlapped. My recording started at about 1315, and Tahiti's strength was building up to a huge level throughout the entire 3 minute song.  http://www.mediafire.com/listen/lpxrok1id6dd6in/738-R.Polynesie-1315z090114PL380.MP3

Well, this doesn't seem very likely, Nick :-)  Since returning from the summer ocean cliff DXpeditions I've been desperately searching the band for some sign of TP life here in this mediocre location-- and this morning provided the first moderate success. 738-Tahiti was also coming in at a fair level here around the bizarre hour of 0900 UTC early this morning, but of course the signal crashed as soon as I had everything set up for recording.

73, Gary
