Gary: I won't say "Richard in Oklahoma" heard audio from 738-Tahiti. There was too much slop from nearby 740-KRMG (25 kW), and probably KTRH, to know whether I heard anything other than a het on 738 kHz. Sadly KRMG goes to 50 kW at 1230 GMT thus blocking further reception 738 here each morning.

Around 1345 several DU frequencies (forming an NZ pattern) managed moderately strong carriers-- even in this DU-dead zone. These were 594 (weak), 603 (weak), 657 (moderate), 675 (moderate) and 765 (weak). Of course I knew very well who all of these NZ carriers were-- which made it even more frustrating when this mediocre location didn't allow any of them to come up to audio. It must have been a fantastic day at the coast... or even in Victoria! 738-Radio Polynesie in Tahiti was again the only South Pacific station to manage fair audio here this morning (around 1403), repeating its performance from yesterday. Congratulations to Tim Tromp in Michigan for again receiving audio from 702-Sydney and 738-Tahiti, and to Richard in Oklahoma for his reception of audio from 738-Tahiti on his PL-310 Ultralight. After Nick's reception of audio from 603-Waatea and 765-Kahungunu yesterday, I imagine that he had quite a New Zealand bonanza this morning. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA,.
