Having just reviewed the extensive recordings from my first serious TP DX session from the Kona Isle Condos Iâll start by providing the highlights with a more extensive report to follow. I set up my portable shack, which is comprised of Gary DeBockâs superb hot-riffed Tecsun PL-380 with the also superb 5â FSL on a picnic table on the grounds of the Kona Isle Condominium complex. The picnic table is about 50 ft. From the water. I tried a limited session from the balcony of the 2nd story condo the night before with marginal results. The picnic table by the water is clearly the way to go! Times in UTC.
