Could your 1410 been CFUN VAcouver? They are listed as carrying Both ESPN
and Fox Sports in the night and overnight hours from 10pm to 6am VAncouver
time, which would be 8pm to 4am in Hawaii.

That is probably alot more likely considering their power level.

[IRCA] THE OTHER HAWAIIAN REPORT

2015-11-08 Thread Pete Taylor 
The previous report covered Hawaiian stations; this one covers what else I 
heard.

First, Colin, we stayed at Waikoloa Village 10/26-31 and Kona Coast Resort 
11/1-6. North American reception is pretty well blocked by the rather large 
mountains; electrical noise at both places didn’t help much either. Bob 
Coomler, yes, you’ll be in great shape for North America but not so good for 
Asia. (Be sure to go to the Botanical Garden!)

I DXed a couple of times at 10pm and 4am local but was not rewarded with much 
other than a few hets. However, there were a few things of interest Sat. 11/7 
at 4am HST:
603 - couldn’t tell language. Seems unlikely it was Korean but could be. 
Actually heard two mornings.
620/621 - sounded like opera with JJ commentary. Not positive about the 
language.
747 - Japanese; fair level
774 - as above
1143 - as above
1170 - someone trying to break through but not quite audio
1380 - US sports. KTKZ?
1410 - US sports. KMYC unlikely, but what else?
1440 - good level in Japanese
1550 - repetitive chanting. Really strange. KZDG?

On 11/5, we drove up to a ranch on Hwy. 250 about 2/3rds of the way up from 
Waimea. This did not give me a clear shot to the U.S. mainland but it wasn’t 
bad. Driving back 2 hours after local sunset, I listened for about 15 minutes 
before the mountains started blocking reception. The dial was alive from 
540-1150 with U.S. stations audible on just about every frequency which did not 
have a Hawaiian station on it. KTNQ-1020 was the loudest.

In the 80s, we went to Poipu on Kauai. No problem with having a loop in your 
luggage back then. Reception was wonderful with Argentina all the way around to 
Japan bouncing in. Fun! It is good having an understanding wife...

Re: [IRCA] THE OTHER HAWAIIAN REPORT

KMYC's website shows a 24/7 conservative talk lineup. KZDG is very likely your 
1550. It would have been on day pattern, which sends everything to the west and 
northwest. It does a lot of strange stuff. 

When DXing on Maui DU was fairly common; even on some rental car radios. In 
late September of 2001 I heard KOMA (now KOKC) extremely well on a rental car 
radio. My new bride thought that was cool.   :)Co-located 1020 and 1150 
from Los Angeles were common. KTCT-1050 in the SF Bay Area was also common. 
It's licensed for 10 kW at night but runs full day 50 kW power and pattern 24/7 
under an STA that was granted in 1999 and is extended every six months. The 
reason is XED cheats big time.
