Home Loggings and A Weekend at Hinahina

 I went to Steven Greenyer's crib (holiday home/ bach) for the weekend. Those marked with HH are what we both heard, those marked SMFH is what I heard using a SDRPlay software defined radio connected to a 230m longwire. Those marked with a c after the frequency were heard using the DX League's SDR 3, also situated at Hinahina. The rest are home loggings using my WinRadio G33DDC Excalibur SDR and a 5m EWE. Sorry about the poor formatting!
