Re: [IRCA] Big Island DXing



I have made 12 "pilgrimages" to Kona in the past 20 years and that would be
the dream location --

Much like Easter Island - the location totally puts you in the drivers seat
for some of the World's best DX -

Because you can chase Austral-Asia and the Americas.

Having heard Alaska crystal clear in Hawaii, it is well within the realm of
possibility that Europe is likely doable from Hawaii as well.

It would just take the right sort of DXer to step up and do it -

All continents on medium wave from one location -- possible from Hawaii.

Discuss.
