Welcome home (to the Puget Sound area), and thanks for giving it your best shot in Kona. I don't blame you for not wanting to search out remote ocean cliffs on the Big Island-- I was in Hawaii (Pearl Harbor) from 1975-1979, and the Navy instructed us over and over to avoid "dubious areas."

As for FSL antenna DXing on ocean cliffs (in addition to any efforts that your buddy Joachim Oster may make), I'm sure that they will get plenty of DU-DXing "hang time" by a true fanatic on Oregon's "Rockwork" cliff next month.

On the ground in Seattle waiting for our hop to Victoria -

For Gary: The FSL is going to live in Captain Cook for a while
