Hi Patrick, The transmitter is on Kadavu Island, near the city of Namara, per information I found on the Web this weekend. There's quite a bit of high-rez satellite photography available, too, through Google Earth for this particular part of Fiji. However, I didn't spot any transmitter towers (perhaps it's a wire strung between two coconut trees :^)
I can see how the signal would be attenuated to the north-northeast though, as it would travel across some mountainous terrain before reaching open ocean.

I should be hearing it here. I wonder where the TX site is. The 2.5 KW does not seem to get out this way all that well. I will check 774 a bit later tonight. With the solar numbers higher, maybe it will knock JOUB out. 73, Patrick -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com – Enhanced email for the mobile individual based on Microsoft® Exchange - http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
