Re: [IRCA] Exotic Sunrise DX Targets in Hawaii- the Japanese "Cheat Sheet"
Gary, There are kiwisdr receivers in Shenzen and Hong Kong, which can give a good idea of the DX environment prior to getting there. Looking at a map, Manila, Taipei and Hanoi are only about 600 miles from Hong Kong and the paths are mostly across salt water. During the evening hours, I would expect to hear some very strong signals from Philippines/Taiwan/Vietnam on channels that aren't dominated by Chinese behemoths. Many of them sign off at midnight or later, so your best opportunities for long haul DX may be from 1 am until the QRM comes back on at about 5 o'clock.
