[HCDX] Fwd: [DXplorer] Loggings from Victoria,BC, Canada

["Walter (Volodya) Salmaniw" <salmaniw@xxxxxxx>]

Fellas, here are some loggings for the past weeks.  Not
as much time as I would normally like, but with the in-laws visiting, 10
deliveries in the past couple of weeks, etc, has left me with less than
enough time.  Nonetheless, here they are.  I tried for RASD,
below on 7460 last night, but could only hear a carrier, by the
way.  The R. Nac spelling is directly from the ILG database and then
using the Scan320db program for logging.  Not the usual way I've
seen it spelt (in case you were wondering).  Happy New year to you
all!.......Walt.
