Re: [IRCA] Fwd: [ultralightdx] Rockwork 4 DU-DXpedition-- South Pacific UnID's and Mysteries

Oz uses eight-digit telephone numbers within its area codes.
Fixed-line exchange prefixes around Frederickton are 6566-, Kempsey 6562-, 6563-. and Gladstone 6567-. plus 9846-. Turner's Flat 6561-.
Oz (as in NZ) isolates its mobile/cell services to a specific area code, generally (04) so that cuts down on number usage.
As in a year or so back, 2KP/531 is possibly the talking interference to 531 PI in Auckland at ~2300 AET/1300 UT, though with music 4KZ in Innisfail, Qld could come into play. I cannot recall any mention anywhere ever of 3GG making it over the Pacific. All three are listed as directional.

Hi Gary.  Now that we’ve established 531 as the ‘benchmark’ of our DXpeditions this year I’ve been listening to it a bit.  This morning, 7/23, at Sans Souci was pretty much an Aussie event.  Good time to check 531 for something other than PI!

Sure enough on my 1200utc TOH recording I’ve got an Aussie dominant with a program called ‘Help Line’ and a commercial for something with a ‘clubhouse’ near Frederickton with a phone # announced as 65-87-3020.  Nothing came up on Google for that, unfortunately.

Later in the 8 minute cut I’ve got a commercial for Litz’s [?] News Agency & Takewawy somewhere in NSW.

PAL shows only one station in NSW on 531, in Dempsey.  I’ll bet that’s what we’ve got.

Hello All,
As usual, the recent visit to the Oregon ocean cliff site resulted in a mix of definite and not-so-definite DU loggings. Most of the mysteries were related to Australian stations trying to break through the strong NZ-slanted propagation. Posted below are several MP3's of these mysteries, along with descriptions of what I can make out by myself. The 702 kHz recording is pretty strong, so anyone in NZ or Oz could probably tell me the accent of the female presenter. Any assistance would be appreciated! 531 UnID Australian In general the Oz stations on this frequency had a very rough time breaking through the heavy 531- 
             PI signal, but in this recording at 1233z on 7-17 there is an Australian pop music station mixing with PI at a fair level,
             with a female presenter giving some speech from :08 until :17 into the recording. Not too much to go with, but does
             anyone in Oz recognize her voice? (headphones recommended)
http://www.mediafire.com/listen/6226aomeihz2ek9/531-UnIDAussie-1233z071714PL380.MP3 531 UnID Australian Another Oz station trying to break through PI's hammerlock on the frequency. At 1258z on 7-16 
             a male-voiced presenter on an Australian station is speaking under 531-PI's Samoan male presenter. Being close
             to the 1300 TOH, this may have been some type of news. Does anyone in Oz recognize his voice? (headphones
             recommended)
http://www.mediafire.com/listen/bbx02dq4d9aq55s/531-UnIDAussie-1258z071614PL380.MP3 585 UnID Australian At 1238 on 7-17 a fairly weak station was received on 585, but it was clearly not // with 603-Waatea 
             (i.e., it was not the 2 kW Kiwi station 585-Radio Ngati Porou). This leaves only two Oz stations as real possibilities--
             585-2WEB "Outback Radio" (received three times previously on the Cliffs) or the 10 kW ABC station 7RN in Hobart,
             Tasmania (never before received). Both male and female presenters are giving either an interview, or news. Any
             suggestions from Oz? (headphones recommended)
http://www.mediafire.com/listen/sx699ey6dnss8qv/585-UnID-DU-1238z071714PL380.MP3 702 UnID DU This fairly strong station at 1211 on 7-19 is obviously either the Kiwi 10 kw station Radio Live or the Aussie 
             50 kW big gun 2BL, but since an LR network // wasn't available at the time I couldn't confirm the ABC identity. My
             guess is that this is 2BL because of the complete lack of commercial advertising from the female presenter, but
             could someone in either NZ or Oz confirm her Aussie accent?
http://www.mediafire.com/listen/d6781cbulgix8ha/702-UnID-DU-1211z071914PL380.MP3 Thanks for any assistance! 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)
