For anyone interested, 'The Cross', 4755.4, operated by Pacific Missionary
Aviation in Micronesia has returned to the air after being off since its last
stint back in late 2007.

Here is an example of their QSL (verie, for those in Glendale):

Cool! 1 kW could be tough, especially with CODAR down there, but what
the heck...

No CODAR on that frequency but I can hear Brazil on 4754.9 kHz @
2340UTC. Morning will be best when the band is longer.

Can also hear Peru on 4747 kHz @ 0010 UTC.

I am having MISERABLE reception tonight here in California. I heard
Zambia on 4965 better than I've ever heard it around 0200 on my new
antenna (nothing at all on my DX-Ultra on 60m) - but practically
nothing else. WWV on 5 and 10 is scratchy and faint. Some hams (?) I
listened to 3.3 MHz band here in CA were having poor reception too.

Well, this sort of explains the deafening quiet :-(

0300 by K3SKE SFI=80, A=2, K=1, NO STORMS ; NO STORMS

Much like yesterday, 'The Cross' 4755.4 heard here with ID at 1159, FM frequency mentioned.

Heard here too @ 1245 UTC. Must be running more than 1 KW.


Only 1 kW according to the engineer. But, they did put up a much better antenna.

Hopefully they'll have better luck than they did back in 2007.
