[Lowfer] Signals from Hawaii

[Garry]

Good signals last night from 474.2 kHz WSPR station WH2XCR in Maui so 
turned to 353 kHz looking for NDB LLD in Lanai. Haven't heard it for 
quite awhile due to very strong station PG in MB being right on top of 
it.  Fortunately most Canadian stations send true USB whereas most US 
stations are DSB. LLD came through fine on LSB (-403 Hz) with a cycle 
time of 8.46 seconds. Later tuned down to 332 kHz looking for NDB POA, 
also in Hawaii. Past reception has been basically impossible due to 
local station HK. However, that HK (there's still a station with the 
same callsign in NC!) has gone QRT. Now the problem is NDB SBU running 
at about the same USB offset and cycle time. While a clear reception of 
the POA callsign wasn't possible there was a second "bump" in the 
correlation function that was most likely due to POA. All in all an 
interesting night for propagation to the west.
