Colin, Unless you stumble into a "growing field", only cops will care lol. Even then they would be fascinated or unintetested. I would be curious tho if you would be able to get to the north side and see how different cx would be. Stateside should be very different as opposed to where you are cliff dxing now. Bear in mind that tou have Mauna Kea and Waimea blocking any effective water/sky paths. But then again it was a tough time for me when I was in Hawaii last to get motivated to DX during the two weeks I was there. Once I got that taste of cliff dxing it's like a new excitement and dimension came upon me.

Going to give the coffee farmer who received my FSL antenna (and will be shipping it back) an opportunity to use the FSL for a few weeks up above Keleakekua Bay to see what he can get. Sadly I am no motivated enough (or brave enough) to take the FSL out into the public in Hawaii and cruise some of the back roads... especially at sunrise. I think eyes would be a bit more suspicious here than in Oregon.
