In Honolulu saving money to get engine repaired...seems like KH3 is put off again....but dont worry, I will make it.

FANTASTIC....RELATIVES have contacted me...I am NOT the last of the clan. Discovered Cousins on east coast...It is nice to email with relatives and recall the past.

Now in Honolulu in the "black hole of Hawaii" as far as ham radio is concerned. WIll be here till hurricane season lets up. (had to eliminate beginning this blog due to space limitations.)

Got tooth ache and returned to Honolulu....had oral surgery and am now frightened of hurricanes....so delay till end of hurricane season.....don't fret...I will be there.

HAWAII...NAVY PEARL HARBOR....best darn marina in Hawaii...

5 Jan 07..Tried to start engine for trip to Johnston Island.,.. starter,solenoid, and ignition switch burnt up....wow all that smoke..talk about Panic time....anyway, they are now replaced and I should be on was in a couple of days (Mid Jan) Having Diesel Mech check out engine for me...glad it did not happen on Johnston Island.

NOW HAVE A PASSENGER. My new first mate is "Elmer" an african gray parrot. four weeks old...dont know if it is male or female...any good ideas for a name...Elmer, Matie....whatever? *********************************************** Just completed delivery of Hunter 420 from Alameda, CA to Pearl Harbor. It was a pleasure, I normally am single handed. Had 3 person crew on this 24 day trip..went south of Baja and then west to Pearl Harbor...great trip. ********************************************************************I operate KH6BB from USS Missouri quite often....usually 14030 on CW.

Got personal problems cant leave KH6 till mid june...then Johnston island, Marshalls (for hurricane season), Kwajalein, couple of atolls in Marshalls for new IOTA, then Tarawa, from there who knows.

Watch for W7KFI/???? or any south seas call ending in KFI

QSL VIA K6FAF,,,SASE REQUIRED...or IRC coupons. ************************************ Two day trip to Honolulu...lots of rain (what else?)...came down the channel between Oahu and Maui at Dawn so there were only 15-20 foot waves with only 30mph winds...nice sleigh ride to Honolulu. Very impressive passing Diamon Head....but when Entering Pearl Harbor Navy Base my engine overheated so I was visited by the base security boat and boarded for inspection...then the "assist" boat came out and towed me into Rainbow Bay Marina (Navy).

WOW....what a marina...nicest facilities I have seen anywhere, head and shoulders above Paradise Village Marina, Puerto Vallarta Mexico. ***********************************- Next stop will be Johnston Island (now un-inhabited) for a rest stop and then on to Woje Atoll in Marshall Islands. *********************************** LEFT MEXICO April 28th...34 day passage to Hilo, Hawaii..fantastic reception, radio interviews with Art Bell (Coast to Coast AM), local radio...BBC for their shortwave program "OUTLOOK"...front page of local paper (Tribune Hearld), even complimentary food at Kens pancake house....

I have never been anywhere where there are so many friendly people. Truly if there were a Marina here, I would go no further. will be on 14028 and 14240, yl network, and 14300.My operating schedule is: Things have been so bad down here that there are:14028 cw, 14240 SSB usually around 0230Z. Propogation to the mainland from Hawaii (20 meters) is usually only 5pm local to 8pm local.

. If you need a specific prefix, let me know, I will try to work it in.
