Hi John, Thanks very much for listening to this MP3, and for identifying the song as Christian music. That was the final piece of the puzzle to confirm that this recording was from the New Zealand's Rhema network (a couple of 5 kW and 2 kW) transmitters on this frequency), which typically plays Christian contemporary music.
This was one of the strongest UnID recordings made during the Rockwork 4 ocean cliff DXing trip, so I'm very happy to have nailed down the identity. Thanks for your help! 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA) -----Original Message----- From: James Niven <[email protected]> To: 'Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America' <[email protected]>; ultralightdx <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Aug 1, 2013 1:00 pm Subject: Re: [IRCA] Rockwork 4 DXpedition-- UnID's and Mysteries (Part 1) Hi Gary, 594 UnID-DU (1318z 7-21-13) The format of this strong station seems to match that of the Kiwi network NZ Rhema, but there is only mumbled speech at the beginning of the MP3. Can anyone confirm the song as Christian music? That would be pretty strong evidence of the station's identity. http://www.mediafire.com/listen/7j7ei5sr6b5r0qo/594-UnID-DU-1318z072113PL380 .MP3 This is Christian Music, I have heard the song on K-Love, but don't recall the song title. The announcer at the beginning of the clip sounds like he is saying "Listener Supported Station ...." then into the song.

Suggestions or information on the following UnID mysteries would be greatly appreciated-- either from Down Under or local experts! 594 UnID-DU (1318z 7-21-13) The format of this strong station seems to match that of the Kiwi network NZ Rhema, but there is only mumbled speech at the beginning of the MP3.
