Hi. I believe Dale Park is the only active dx-er. I lived on Windward
Oahu from 1978-1987 and found the dx varied greatly depending on where you
were on the island. From the windward side of Oahu, Alaska, Western
Canada, and the U.S. mainland as far east as Chicago. But other islands,
e.g. tonga, samoa, fiji, were rare. From the south shore, these islands
were regulars, with no Alaskans present.
Probably my best catches were WBZ, KYW, Wcau, and WWWE-Cleveland. I had
other east coast stations, but just listed a few. In the other direction,
my best catches were from India on 1134 and Oman with a BBC relay on 1413 kHz.
My favorite was winning a call-in contest on KVOK, Kodiac Ak. On the air,
I told them I couldn't come to the station to get my prize, and asked if
they would send it to me. Only then, after winning the contest did I tell
the announcer that I was in Hawaii.
My biggest disappointments were never getting WJR, WBAL, WWVA, WRVA, or
WBT. These states remained unlogged.
Aloha,
Doug Martin
