[IRCA] Blooper - TPs for 9Sep07

2007-09-11 Thread cafe

Patrick and Walt filed todays DX as Sept-9, 2007 - it is 9/11 today.
My point however is -- I think we should all try and establish
a DX-Camp somewhere in Hawaii -- on the Big Island or, a Patrick
says -- Kuai. Wife and I are thinking of heading there for 10
days in October, November or December -- and I will
be hauling the Eton E1, heck or high-water...

Or - we could encourage Patrick to move to Hawaii, buy a bunch
of land and we could keep a steady stream of DXers visiting
Hawaii to keep him company - I know, for one, that I could well
be first in line.

Patrick will have friends that he never imagined having!
Go Patrick, Go!

As described by the other gents - I did a barefoot Eton E1 session
again this morning and although the band looked energized at about 1305 - 1310 
UTC,
it quickly lost volume and momentum after 1315 UTC.
Still - fair audio on 584, 612, 639, 747, 756, 774, 828, 963, 972, 1143, 1287 
and 1566.



 With AM band changing so much with IBOC, the noise levels, QRM from more
 NSP stations, more high power, etc. It has crossed my mind to give it
 all up, sell the houses, etc, and take my radio and move to the West
 side of Kauai or maybe Guam.

Colin,

Kauai is actually better probably than Guam as there is much less QRM.
The two locals on Kauai you can be some distance from them. There is
better medical on Kauai probably too. But it is wide open to the Pacific
there. Better than the other islands. The largest towns are Kapaa and
Lihue, both around 5,000.

73,

Patrick
