Hi Chuck and Patrick,
Thank you both for your suggestions on the 585 kHz UnID DU, received in
Lincoln City, OR last week.
I'm just starting to upload MP3's from the trip, but the 585 kHz UnID DU
recording is posted at _http://www.mediafire.com/?x5avb1mw42lncqj_
(http://www.mediafire.com/?x5avb1mw42lncqj) . After Boston's "More Than a Feeling"
classic rock number, there is a DU English ID of some sort, which has defied
my best efforts to make out.
I've also uploaded a weird MP3 of a booming snarl of 738-Tahiti mixing with
2NR, both at S9+ levels on July 20th at 1255. This signal was pegging the
PL-380's S/N display at 25, the maximum possible S/N reading on the Tecsun
PL-380 DSP Ultralight. _http://www.mediafire.com/?eea954j14dmzalm_

My vote is 2WEB for you 585 kHz unid. Although listed as country (and they
play mostly country), the overnight show has everything from Beatles to
disco. They've put in a good signal at Grayland before, so it seems
reasonable you had them.
On 639, Coffs Harbor is sometimes there at Grayland and is almost always
talk.
It will be fun to hear your recordings.
Chuck

while in Masset, I wouldn't even have thought of checking 639 kHz for the Radio
Fiji One parallel. 639 has been booming in almost every morning here
around 1245, but 684 kHz has been touch and go at best.

and 585 kHz was booming in with classic rock from the DU direction on
Tuesday (no idea who that was, but got a nice MP3 of Boston's "More Than a
Feeling"). 666 kHz has had weak French on most mornings, but signals are touch
and go at best. 594 kHz seems to have NZ Rhema mixing with ABC on
Kiwi-slanted mornings, and occasionally alone. 639 kHz has a DU English talk station
(either Kiwi or Aussie) mixing with Fiji at times, and occasionally fighting
it out for dominance. 531 is the usual Aussie non-ID soft rock station,
with no sign yet of the Kiwi Samoan signal. 558 has a DU which is playing
hard to get, but the DU "big guns" on 567, 594, 657, 675, 702, 738, 774, 792,
891 and 1116 have had no trouble getting their points across. All in all,
it's been way more DXing fun than I deserve, for this humble modified ULR
and 3' portable loop. As John used to say, though, it's never too late to be
greedy for more!
