More Marshall Island Reception

I was able to record another brief transmission, also from Roi Namur island (see last post).  It was also late afternoon Sep. 1st, 17:55 local Hawai'i time, on 28.010 MHz.  It faded in and out and then briefly came in loud and clear before disappearing again.  I transcribed it as:

CQ CQ CQ CQ CQ CQ DE V73NS V73NS K

That is "calling anyone" several times, "I am" and then the callsign V73NS twice and then the K at the end signifies end transmission and inviting anyone to call back.  I used the call sign to look up the location. 

Here is the recorded signal at the point of best reception.
