Re: [IRCA] Tuvalu - 621



Hi Bill,

Great job and a great catch with Tuvalu! It's been a long time since I've
caught them on a DXpedition. David Clark logged them in 1997 at Grayland,
and I think that I was on that DXpedition and also tuned in Tuvalu (David
had a very vocal way of letting everyone know of juicy DX that he'd come
across :^)

Besides the mention of Tuvalu at 1:10 in your first recording, I also hear
"Tonga" at 1:06 just before.

73,
