Re: [IRCA] Lincoln City, OR Ultralight DU's for 8-22

Hello Todd, 

Thank you very much for your generous comment, and I'm happy that you like the ocean cliff DX reports. 

This wild new form of transoceanic DXing seems to have a lot of potential for enhancing long-range signals, and seems to be catching on (at least on the west coast). Thanks again for your interest!
