Cool Hawaii techno radio station

Only from 2pm - 2am and the signal isn't the best but the music is cool and different. I thought it was a signal coming from Maui but it's right here on Oahu. It's 101.1 fm on the dial.

Here's more info from their website:

"ENERGY 101 is the first radio station of its kind on Oahu. In fact, we are part of a brand new class of radio service called Low Power FM, or LPFM. LPFM's can transmit up to a maximum of 100 watts, have an antenna of up to 100 feet, be commercial free, locally owned and operated, and not for profit. Additionally, our current license permits us to broadcast 12 hours per day between the hours of 2PM and 2AM seven days a week. It's all the FCC will allow...for now. We think they might have been worried that Hawaii wouldn't know what to do with so much cool dance music being pumped out over the airwaves! Actually, there was so much competition for this frequency when we applied more than six years ago, that we had to agree to split our time with a radio station on the windward side of the island. Since they'll be broadcasting from Kailua, there is no way our signals will interfere but we have to demonstrate this to the FCC at a future date and prove to them that we can broadcast concurrently."
