More on the VoA or lack of VoA on this channel (and I fear Bruce is right about KLOK being the mystery here).   VoA was quite common when listening offshore from Hawaii recently, and was also heard quite strongly on the east side of Oahu (mountain range immediately behind) using just a 6' diameter ALA100 loop indoors.   I wonder if its pattern has a little lobe in Hawaii's direction (but not in ours). Unfortunately, FMscan doesn't seem to have directional patterns for VoA?   PAL says they're directional away from us in the Northwest, but even more so for Hawaii I would think.

best wishes,

Nick
