Actually Grumpus, Isla de Pascua (Easter Island) is the Holy Grail of the
ultimate DX catch from here in South Africa.
There are only two ways of catching it:
Firstly on 580 Khz MW they have a 250 watt station = the chances of getting
that are very remote indeed.
Second is the aeradio station at Hanga Roa - problem is here that only about
two a/c regularly go that route a day.
The a/c from Santiago, Chile, to Tahiti via Isla de Pascua (Easter Island)
and the one returning.
So you see there is hardly any traffic to pick up and you have got to be on
air listening for that one and only a/c at the right exact time.
So Mark's catch, even though he is much nearer to Hanga Roa than me, is
still brilliant listening to catch the only a/c of the single daily flight.

Here in South Africa, that a/c movement takes place at 3.00 am in the
morning my time, and as you can imagine, I am not often listening at that
hour.

So Mark got a rare and unique catch

PS - even dxAce has not got Isla de Pascua (Easter Island) on his QSL
list...........

That's because the only thing on my QSL list are shortwave broadcasting
stations.....

Mediumwave and utility stations don't count as shortwave broadcast.
