Re: [IRCA] TA's found inside BOG last night

     I hit Tybee almost every year. Where were you able to do this? Certainly you weren't up there near the pier. I've been to busier places, but I still don't feel comfortable stringing out wire at Tybee. Maybe I have to go in the off season...
     Sapelo Island would be a great place for a DXpedition if we could pull that off. Hardly a soul there and no electrical noise to deal with either. Maybe we should check into renting the Big House some day...
