I'm curious as to what DXpeditions are on tap before winter sets in.
"Who's going where when?"
Of greatest interest to me are ones along the US and Canadian Atlantic coastline such as:
PEI - I think Bruce Conti, Brent Taylor, and some others are signed up for that
Newfoundland - ?
NJ coast (Long Beach Island?)
Of course, here in the east, results from those outings are augmented well by near-DXpedition-grade home-based reporters such as Allen Willie in NL, Michael Yule in NS, Brent Taylor in PEI, Sylvain Naud in QC, a few of us in New England, and sporadic contributors from other coastal hotspots such as the NC Outer Banks and south FL.
Still somewhat relevant to me would be news about DXpeditions in Europe, Africa, South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.
The West Coast guys must have some activities cooked up (such as Rockworks, Grayland, and Haida Gwaii). Every so often trips to Hawaii are mentioned. Japanese and Australian DXers are likely to be active sometime too.
I'm thinking of doing at least one or two sessions from the car at beach sites within an hour's drive time. Typically these would be around local sunset at sites providing more consistent / strong TA and South American signals than can normally be obtained at the house. Maybe I would try to coordinate a mini-DXpedition night with others' activities in PEI or NL as I've done in some previous years.
