I guess I'll be one of those carrier chasers, Guy, being situated in the
Midwest, not near any coast whatsoever.
I have a couple of tentative recordings of Tahiti on 738, but since
that's gone, I guess I'll add this one to my list of island stations to
try and hear.
Too bad the field to the east of me is covered in manure now (and for
the rest of the summer/fall). That's where I had my BOG last year. Maybe
I can come up with some setup to receive DX from the SW without using
that field. I guess I could try it again, but I'm afraid all the signals
I'd receive would be crappy... :^)
In the meantime, I guess I'll pull out my old tapes of R. Tahiti on
15170 kHz. Those were good days!

Hi Gary,
You are so right about Tonga since it’s gone 24/7! This re-energized
station has been a powerhouse into Grayland this week too, and like
you
said the vibrant signal is a welcome replacement for Tahiti 738. It
makes
for enjoyable wide-bandwidth listening!
For any carrier chasers out there, after calibration my SDR's software
reports their signal as 5.5 Hz on the high side of 1017. At least a
couple
other station peaks were noted slightly lower than 1017.
Good DX,
Guy
