Re: [IRCA] HAWAII-830

["Donald K. Kaskey" <kaskeyfamily@xxxxxxxxx>]

I remember those days well.  Periods 1965-1969, 1976-1979 especially.  
Hawaiians were easy copy.  I chuckle when I read my notes for those 
periods and note that KZOO-1210 was splattering the adjacent frequency 
:-)...In the 60s there was a long period when 1350 was clear out here 
nightly and KTOH Lihue would boom in, notably all summer long. 940 & 970 
were easy on MMs & I even heard the toughies like 1130, 1170 & 1270 on 
occasion.  Never heard 610 or 790 though.  Then I also remember the 
times back in the late 50s when I would go bar-hopping listening to 
KGMB-590 on the car radio with ease.
No more, thats for sure.  Alaska was tougher but there were times back 
then when they were nightly visitors too e.g. 660, 750 & 800...
