[IRCA] Grayland DU's for 6-1

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Guy Atkins and I joined John Bryant at Grayland,  Washington this 
morning, hoping for some nice DX from Australia and  New Zealand, such as John had 
been receiving on his E100 hooked up to his  Wellbrook array.  Of course, the 
morning was pronounced by John as the  poorest of the four days he had been 
trying.
 
     Despite this, the modified ICF-2010 (with the  19.5" loopstick) did 
manage to receive audio on 567, 612 and 657kHz  around sunrise, for the most 
productive morning in three recent trips to the  Grayland Motel.  Unfortunately, 
none of the audio levels were strong  enough to receive on the stand-alone 
Ultralights I was using, mainly due to  local splatter.  Guy and John were in the 
preferred Room 15, but my  session was at the Grayland Beach Road picnic table, 
in an effort to avoid  RF noise.
 
     Congratulations again to John for his superb DX  accomplishments using 
his Ultralights with the Wellbrook array, logging  many new countries never 
before received on "pocket radios."  Hopefully  other experienced DXers with 
effective external antennas will enjoy the  exciting new experience of chasing 
TA's and TP's on Ultralight radios, which can  provide thrilling new DX 
challenges for all.
 
                                                                              
                         73,  Gary
