I spent 5 days on the Kona Coast of Hawaii (the Big Island) from April 14 to April 19 2018. I stayed at the Kona Isle Condominiums. The condominium complex was selected due to the availability of a series of picnic tables sited about 50 ft. from the shore. Below is a photo of my "Frequent Flyer" Turbocharged Tecsun PL-380 and 5 inch FSL generously provided by Gary DeBock. These two pieces of equipment are clear difference makers. I DXed both in the evening and in the early morning.




Here are the first series of recordings of the DXPedition (Many thanks to Gary for editing these recordings!!) More to come!
