Re: [IRCA] DXing from Hawaii question

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

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!
