Thanks Nick, I have been watching your propagation reports from Victoria (usually including several DU's each morning) and was very curious how Fiji's blowtorch signal would make the trip to Vancouver Island this morning. Apparently it didn't make the trip very well at all. Bill W. will be in this area in a couple of days, and have a chance to hear this rejuvenated Pacific island wonder for himself. >From what I understand, 558-Fiji's transmitter was donated by the Japanese >government (maybe so that Japanese DXers could hear the station better?).

There was a tentative audio on 558 with weak island music on 30 July, but that seems to have been it so far. best wishes, Nick At 14:48 08-08-17, d1028g...@comcast.net wrote: >It was another wild session at Rockwork 4 this morning, with >558-Fiji, 585-7RN and a presumed 585-2WEB (not // 576) all reaching >S9 levels at times. > >When 558-Fiji pounds in at this level it should be more than >adequate to reach Victoria and other salt-water enhanced locations. >This was its signal at 1318 this morning, received on a Tecsun >PL-380 boosted by a 15 inch FSL antenna at the ocean cliff near >Manzanita, Oregon >https://app.box.com/s/6b2fxp2ai8p44t38fih4dn1meffzocxi > >Gary DeBock (in Nehalem, OR) > >_______________________________________________ >IRCA mailing list >IRCA@hard-core-dx.com >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: irca@hard-core-dx.com Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com 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: irca@hard-core-dx.com _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com 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: irca@hard-core-dx.com
