[IRCA] Kona, Hawaii Ultralight TP's for 4-9-- Sunrise Session

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

The Ultralights and compact FSL were set up for "big game" at sunrise this morning here in Kona, with a sunrise peak seeming to kick in around 1545. Priority frequencies were 531, 693 and 1566, and all three seemed to deliver something of interest on a 5 inch "Frequent Flyer" FSL right next to the salt water here in Kona. 

531 had an LR network program apparently with the same content and announcer as 630-4QN, presumably from 6DL (although the two stations didn't seem to be exactly in parallel, maybe because of a programming delay due to a time zone difference). 693 had an unfamiliar station around 1602 after the sign off of NHK2, which didn't sound like English speech to me (657 was checked for NZ propagation, but it only delivered Pyongyang at a blistering level). Finally, 1566 had a mix of a Christian music station (apparently HLAZ) and an unknown foreign language station with a male-female news format at 1604. These three frequencies will again receive serious attention starting at 1545 in a few hours. 

531 6DL? Same apparent program and announcer as 630-4QN below, but didn't seem exactly parallel
