Re: [IRCA] TP 25 Jun; Victoria version

["R. Colin Newell" <coffeecanuck@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tonight is our last night in Kona --
I may make one more attempt to punch through the radio fog here -
We have had lots of Vog and 1/2 of most days have been gray.
One wonders if this has any effect on reception --
Previous reports from Walter when he was visiting the South seas
is that places around Tahiti can be notoriously quiet.

Combined with a poorly behaved priority radio (YB400PE)
and an underutilized FSL (which will reside on a coffee farm for
a month or so in good hands...) - this is easily the poorest DX outing
for me ever.
