Summary of Tuesday night's Rockport Mini-DXpedition
---------------------------------------------------
Bruce Conti joined me out at the pier: he will have some logs
of his own to report.
I used the "mobile DX shack" set-up with the Drake R8A receiver,
RL-1 remotely-tuned loop, RW-1 active whip, and DCP-2 Dual
Controller / Phaser. The loop pattern and whip pattern were
combined via the DCP-2 to create a cardioid array. The temperature
during the DX outing was about 37 F / 3 C. Because of occasional
rain, I put the loop inside a large plastic box on the roof of the
car. The whip amp was positioned inside the car: the whip was
connected to about 20 ft / 6 m of wire outside the vehicle.
Full loggings will be issued later: the report will be combined
with logs from a planned Cape Cod trip on Saturday, 8 MAR.
