DXing Hawaii AM/MW BCB Radio Stations
Hi!
Thanks for all of the references to look up stations from the islands. I have a small list of stations from Hawaii but will certainly look up the ones with at least 10kw or higher to see if I can receive one. Jeff "RHF" wrote in message ups.com...

Jeff Jeff, Here is the FCC AM/MW Radio Station Listing for Hawaii HAWAII AM RADIO = http://tinyurl.com/2kxkzw http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?state...2=&EW=W&size=9 I would focus on those AM/MW Radio Stations with a Broadcast Power of 10 KW or more and Frequencies under 1100 kHz : 620, 650, 670, 690, 760, 830, 870*, 880, 920, 940, 1010*, and 1040 kHz .
