FM bandscan from Mountain View, Hawaii on my Sangean PR-D18

Very nice Gar.
On a different subject, is it still possible to DX the mainland on AM during the long daylight in June? I'm not talking about the easy ones on the West Coast, but can you get anything from the midwest this time of year?

Not the couple times I've tried.

For example, KKOH is all alone without WBBM behind it as it often is in winter.

WBAP is still there but very weak.

Do you ever get E-Skip from the mainland to Hawaii on the FM band? I bet that would be very exciting if and when that happens!

I figured it would be tough now. Thanks

Unfortunately that doesn't happen here because we are way too far from the mainland.

The maximum distance for E Skip is around 1,500 miles and the west coast is well over 2,000 miles away.
