[IRCA] April 2017 Kona, Hawaii DXpedition Article

For those interested in exotic Pacific island DX or in the latest "airport-friendly" FSL antenna designs, a 7-page article describing the first long-range test of the new 5 inch (127mm) "Frequent Flyer" FSL model has been posted at http://www.mediafire.com/file/d793vhcvsi5v01r/April_2017_Kona.docx 

Detailing a four day DXpedition conducted in a 6th floor oceanfront room in Kona, Hawaii, the article describes the design challenge of making "airport-friendly" FSL models, the three new classes of "Frequent Flyer" FSL antennas and the first model's performance in tracking down exotic Pacific island DX at S9 levels. Included are 37 transoceanic DX MP3 links, including the full sign-off routines of 621-Tuvalu and 1440-Kiribati, as well as multiple recordings of 540-Samoa, 1017-Tonga and 1098-Marshalls. Thanks to Colin Newell of Victoria, B.C. for introducing this DXing paradise! 

73 and Good DX, 
Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)
