Re: [IRCA] Aloha from Hawaii

["R. Colin Newell" <coffeecanuck@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not much better now - even Oceanside, the mw dial is a wall of noise with virtually nothing standing out - much less any DX.

4 years ago, Tahiti, Tonga and Marshalls would be booming in by 9 PM local....
Last couple of nights - just power line hash.

Will keep trying.

Little good grounding with Lava rock, I was over there several times and in having dinner with engineer Alan Roycroft complained that the local coverage of AM stations was poor. The station(s) could be heard thousands of miles away, but could not always cover their locals. The rental cars I had, driving out of Hilo up into the Volcano area, after I got 25-30 miles away, even KIPA 620, KPUA-670 were not all that great. Yet at night, San Francisco was heard, better than some locals. Ground conductivity there is not great either, unless the towers are in the ocean. Richard Wood DXed off local power with running his house off batteries to  get rid of noise.
