I can "Never" get ANY AFRTS



If I said that, Steve would say it was because I was an idiot that didn't know
anything about DXing and that my radio was a piece of portable ****.

He'll probably treat you differently, Cuz...

It's because you are weird and make stuff up all the time so how would
we know wether you heard it or if you even have radios strange Mike.

AFRTS is mostly on USB. You won't hear it on AM. You live 60 miles to
the south of me and I get it daily on several frequencies. Hawaii should
be a piece of cake for you

I've read some great things about that Kiwa MW Loop, isn't that the pretty
expensive antenna? Like $250-320?

Yes the Kiwa MW Loop is astonishingly effective. Often beats a well placed
1000 foot beverage.
It is now discontinued, but I think it last sold new for $350.
Now regularly sells used for $700 plus on eBay

Remember that the day and night indications are for the transmitter site itself,
not necessarily for your receiving location.

It's 7:45 here and I'm trying both day and night from Hawaii, Nothing!!!

Here a bump from time to time.

I am 85 miles inland at the Ont. airport. I am using my Sony AN1 with
my YB 400. I also tried these freq.'s at home on the Sat 800 and the
Drake SW8 using a long wire.

So far, I just can't get them.

I'm going to have to come out there and build you an antenna system Cuzz.

Trouble is... I may not leave sunny California again!

Come On Out.

Give you a nice business and wish you well, we got to keep it in the
family.

For Sure!!!
