Re: [IRCA] Kona, Hawaii Ultralight TP's for 12-20

Yes Mark,


I'm sure that when East Coast DXers visit Newfoundland for the first time they go through a similar crash course in sorting out a huge bonanza of exotic TA signals. Hawaii more than qualifies as the west coast version of Newfoundland!


Having exotic TP mixes day after day on most of the 9 kHz split frequencies is a bizarre experience. I occasionally experienced some exceptional TP propagation at Grayland during the 2008-2009 period, but this is in an entirely different league. It reminds me of when I was a teenager living in Japan from 1967-69, hearing China, Japan and Korea in wild snarls all across the MW band every night.
