[IRCA] Kona, Hawaii Ultralight TP's for 4-9

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Yikes-- DX is everywhere and there's not enough time to track it down! 

A four day mini-DXpedition to Kona, Hawaii kicked off last night with several S9+ signals from Pacific Islands on 540, 621, 1098, 1440 and a few others. I was able to bring a 5 inch "Frequent Flyer" FSL antenna along with two 7.5" loopstick CC Skywave Ultralights, and they are tracking down Pacific Island and Asian DX like gangbusters. No real time to go into detail yet, but I'll post a few MP3's from last night's midnight (local) session. This morning I went after the "big game" on 693 and 1566, and came away with fair-level exotic signals on both. Not being any expert on Bangladesh or India, I'll probably run the MP3's by some Japanese Ultralight radio fanatics before claiming anything. This place is awesome!
