Dave Aichelman, N7NZH, recently made a trip to Kauai, Hawaii and returned with top of the hour (TOH) and bottom of the hour (TOHH) Perseus WAV recordings of the medium wave band.
His compact, phased array antenna was mostly aimed south toward Tahiti and the South Pacific. He used a tent-pole micro-loop (7' X 7') and both an FLG100 and ALA100 antenna head. The ALA100 recordings were done on 6/15 with the TOH aimed south and the TOHH aimed east. The 6/11 recordings were done with the FLG100, both aimed south and were about 10db lower signal level. All recordings have the Hawaii stations on them. You can clearly hear Tahiti, Samoa and what is probably Australia and New Zealand. There are a few surprises also. 1610 appears to have 'The Valley' station from the Carribbean and there were numerous Brazillian stations as well. Dave's WAV files are 904MB and 4GB in size (two each from June 11th and 15th), and they are hosted on my Mediafire.com account. So, give your broadband Internet connection some exercise and download the files from: http://www.mediafire.com/?112tbwh3e9a5c The 4GB files are a full eight minutes long, across the top of the hour. Thanks, Dave, for sharing your Perseus recordings with the DXing community!
