Every time I'm in Hawaii, I always bring a souped-up ULR. I suspect that the car radio you had was very feeble. 1610 in Honolulu is the traffic advisory radio, and is usually on with a loop at good strength 24 hours a day, and yet you didn't hear it. From Honolulu, I heard several stations from other islands as well as the local Oahu stations. Last time there was in December. I also remember clearly hearing and recording every MW station while driving up Haleakala on Maui for the sunrise. No problems there at all! One other observation I once made was that my balcony on Waikiki, about a block from the ocean was only so-so, but taking the ULR down to the beach, especially at dusk was magic! Sure beats DXing in sub zero temperatures up here! .........Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
