Oahu Stations Heard on Maui

[ScottBurns]

Aloha! I am fortunate enough to be visiting Maui next month. While I have been to Oahu several times, I am quite familiar with its radio dial. I was wondering if any stations in Oahu have decent signals on Maui. My guess is that the answer would be no, given all the terrain that stands in the way. For example, picking up 102.7 "Da Bombb" along parts of H1 is challenging. Also, what stations in Maui are best, in your opinions?

Mahalo for the time!

Some Oahu FM stations can be heard clearly on the Lahina side, but not in Kahului. Terrain plays a big factor, as you mention. The H1 on Oahu is a challenge because of RF noise from the Waikiki rooftop FM and TV sites, and also the Palehua sites as you travel west out of Honolulu.

As for who is no ka o`e on Maui, I like AM 900, but then again, I like old time Hawai`ian music too.
