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 #^( )...
