Re: [IRCA] Kauai Island AM-DXing.. Know Before You Go (Conclusion)
Heh, I hope that Costco is giving you a good finders' fee for that
write up Gary (hi). It certainly sounds like quite the deal all right.
Seriously, thanks for an excellent write up on how to approach a new
and exotic DX location, and how to take full advantage of it.
best wishes,
Nick

Finally, In consideration of the exceptional value of the
Costco travel package and the superb transoceanic DX propagation
prevalent on the Kauai beach, this 6 day Hawaii vacation proved to
be as much of a lifetime hobby thrill as visiting the exotic Cook
islands in April-- at less than half the cost. My strong advice to
anyone who is feeling bored with his AM-DXing hobby is to step out
of your comfort zone, and try something really new. You can
certainly chase DX at home (or at the same flat ocean beach) for
decades, but you are unlikely to experience anything radically
different from what you have already experienced. Breakthrough
results require breakthrough innovation, exploration and
experimentation, and the commitment to overcome all challenges
until you get the results you desire.
DXing on Kauai Island makes it easy for you. All the comforts
of home are within a 20-minute drive. A Walmart, Safeway, Costco
and Home Depot are all in the local area, close to your gorgeous
2-BR beach side condo. You don't even need to change currency or
bring a passport (well, at least if you live south of the border).
An outstanding snorkeling beach is a 5 minute walk away, and the
"Garden Island" is one of the most beautiful in the entire Hawaiian
chain, waiting for you to explore it in your new, full-sized rental
car. What more could you ask for? So go ahead and take the
plunge... and discover the exceptional thrill of forward Pacific TP-DXing!
