Re: [IRCA] DXing from Hawaii question
Hi Colin,
Thanks for your generous comments. We are very glad that you are
having lots of DX fun in Kona, and I know what you mean about DXing with the fully
modified Slider E100-- it received 49 TP's for me during one night at
Grayland. I'll try to make a few more of these little monsters, as time allows,
for other TP- DXers who want one. Thanks also for your great MP3 recordings,
which I have downloaded and enjoyed immensely, to substitute for inaudible TP's
during this December doldrum season :>)
73 and Mahalo,
Gary DeBock (in the melting snow of Puget Sound, WA)

Ok. Running the risk of complete humiliation... but what the heck.
I know that there are some experts on this list
that would have a bunch of frequencies
that they would be scanning... if they
were at this exact location.
For me - this is kind of upside down land.
I have not done my homework and have not
brought some of my pacific references and
logs of other people to sift through some
of the routine stuff...
So here is the deal.
When I was up this AM, I find signals with audio
on virtually every 9khz channel from 972khz to the
top of the dial. Yes lots of Korean, Japanese, Thai
and even languages I do not recognize.
What I would like are a couple of tips... like:
"Hey, Colin, if I were there, I would tune to
XXX khz at sunrise and listen for a certain kind of
music - this is a great opportunity to pick up
India, pakistan, Bangladesh, Kenya, etc..."
A few good tips - I know that they are out there.
Feel free to respond on the list or reply via
e-mail - I won't tell anyone. :-)
Thanks and best 73
PS: A debt of gratitude on this trip is owed to Gary Debock,
an easy candidate for DXer of the Year (if there is such an award...
and if there isn't there should be!)
Without whose endless assistance, the success thus far would not
have been possible - I have a modified radio, the Eton E100 slider
that thinks it is a communications receiver - It is leaving everything
else utterly in the dust. Thank's Gary - you are a Prince!
