Kaua'i (Hawai'i) Radio Frequencies Summer 1994 (posted by Sandy & Liz Herring; used with permission) Just got back from honeymooning on Kauai, and we're glad we took along our PRO-43! (We both enjoy monitoring!) Although there isn't very much traffic (pretty safe place), we *did* have a tsunami warning on Oct. 4th due to an earthquake measuring 8.2 in Japan. They can predict the time of arrival, but not the magnitude of the tsunami - so everyone in coastal areas had to go to a shelter or head inland. Turns out the wave was a huge 18". But it was fun listening to the traffic on the ham bands and civil defense frequencies. Much better than the repetitious drivel on FM radio 8^). On our way back to the states, while waiting to takeoff from Lihu'e airport, we monitored the tower and learned that the airport was to be shutdown for 20 minutes for an airshow (they were having an open house) featuring a stunt pilot in a biplane. The advance notice allowed us to snarf a prime viewing spot for what proved to be quite an entertaining display. On the way _to_ Hawaii from LAX (on Hawaiian Air) I was listening to the scanner *after* we reached cruising altitude. A flight attendant came over and asked (incredulously), "WHAT is THAT?" I told her it was a scanner, capable of receiving - but *not* transmitting. She said she would have to check with the captain, but didn't think I was allowed to use it on the plane. I told her I'd shut it off while she checked. A few minutes later she returned and said that the co-pilot knew what it was and was certain it would do no harm, but that the pilot indicated it was against FAA regulations to use it in flight. No harm - there wasn't any traffic to speak of, anyway! I picked up the following frequency list from Rat Shack while I was on Kauai (for two bucks #^( )...
