Title: Honolulu on 518 kHz NAVTEX 1029 UTC 12/24/2012
Post by: Kilokat7 on December 24, 2012, 1417 UTC

After failing to hear SAQ overnight, I left the Perseus on 518 KHz for the remainder of the morning.  I was surprised to find these in the YaND logs:

Wow, that is a nice catch. How many miles is that?

Chris - the distance to the Honolulu transmitter site is 4,321 miles.  I suspect this is the only way I'm going to hear Hawaii on medium wave!

Thanks everyone, the mighty BOG antennas continue to perform well.  Station "O" showed up in the logs again last night @ 1026z, rough copy though:
