Congratulations to Colin and Dennis on tracking down the revitalized 558-Fiji. I knew that that those powerful signals from the new, Japanese-designed 10 kW station would show up at west coast home locations before long. Here in the DU-dead zone of Puyallup I'm still sorting through about 3 hours of 558-Fiji recordings from Rockwork 4, so it's not like I feel left out of this morning's action :-) Colin, your talk station on 531 could be either 2PM (if it's in the SRN call-in talk format), 4KZ (if it has some oldies mixed in with the talk), or PI (if the talk is in Samoan, or other Pacific island languages). 531 is like a "graveyard frequency" at the cliff, with 5 different DU's heard on the frequency last month.

Closer to home, I was my 87 year old mom's security detail 3 weeks ago when she fell, breaking her hip. Is making an amazing recovery but I've been focusing on her.
