Colin, Your Kona TP-DX reports have actually been very impressive, especially considering the 7.5 inch loopsticks that have been receiving all the Asian and DU-DX. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, "Never have such tiny antennas received so much long-range DX for such a small cost."
<<< If Gary D. Comes here with an FSL in April, he will likely cash in. >>> Yes, we surely do plan to come to Kona in April-- and I surely do plan to "cash in." A new series of "Frequent Flyer" FSL's are being designed expressly for these situations, so remind me to provide you with a little more antenna "horsepower" prior to your next Kona visit.

Actually hearing signals from the mainland so this evening is shaping up to be "worthwhile" for listening later on as the morning prevails. This visit has not been spectacular but conditions have been largely pathetic-- with a couple of exceptions. If Gary D. Comes here with an FSL in April, he will likely cash in. Already planning our next trip here!
