[IRCA] Sept 3 DU chase from IL resend

[Neil Kazaross <neilkaz58@xxxxxxxxx>]

My new Double Corner Fed Flag antenna is up but needs some more and very
careful dimensioning I think. A huge willow tree isn't making this easy. It
has more signal (EZNEC says 7 dB) than a DKAZ requiring the same space and
height since the two loops are rectangles rather than triangles and
therefore have more area underneath them. However, I am not getting as good
F/B as I'd like or as I could get from the DKAZ, but it seems adequate for
sunrise work to the west.

LSR here was 11:20 today so I started DXing just a few minutes prior to
1100 in hopes of Tonga but little trace and bad slop from NM. Over to 1098
and V7AB had audio and did so much of the time til about 1131:30 when it
seemed it was cut. Music, mostly island mx and ancr in island lang at
times. Bothered by slop from KKLL on early and even KEXS running day rig at
night clobbering KAAY 1090.

I had weak audio at times from 4QR 612 and 2NR 738 but 702 was more
interesting usually with 2BL which is just a bit low of 702 sometimes
audible but often mixed with NZ which is almost on 702 and had mx and a
different ancr. NZ rose atop around 1125 for a bit. A third considerably
weaker carrier is a bit above 702.

My apologies for sending the again, but Gary hasn't learned to keep off the
keyboard.
