I am making my first "pilgrimage" to Hawaii next week. My first stop will be Kauai. While I will be staying near Princeville on the north coast, I intend to check out other areas of the island as well. After Kauai, I will be based on near the west coast of Kona. I also intend to check out the rest of Kona as well. Mark Connelly sent me a few great emails while I was on the Washington and Oregon coast. He too mentioned Robert Wood's DXploits in Hawaii. I am curious what his set up was. I will be traveling with on of Gary DeBock's "frequent flyer" FSLs with a few ultralights. I'm guessing that DXing on Mauna Kea might be productive. Any insights are welcome. I am counting down the days!

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.
