Re: [IRCA] TP's for 08/22/10

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Derek,
 
Thanks for your comments, and I'm pretty sure that neither Guy or  I 
consider ourselves anything close to "GODX" :-)
 
The Oregon coast DU propagation seemed very strong during the past  two 
recent trips to Lincoln City, and I've often wondered about why the  same South 
Pacific propagation wouldn't be even stronger farther south (around  where 
you live in California). My guess is that in the absence of local QRM  it 
would be, but the heavy concentration of domestic  splatter along the 
California coast seems to make it very tough for  you guys to hear the really weak 
South Pacific DX.
 
Even in NW Oregon along the beach, the splatter level from California  
pests (like 640 and 740) was dramatically increased from the level  typical at 
Grayland, WA, so that there was little or no "silent period"  when these 
pests would fade out after local sunrise. Many of these California  pests were 
daytimers in Oregon, and they were impossible to null out during  the 
DU-DXing (with my simple loops always aimed to the SW).
 
73, Gary

I didn't  know you guys were both at the coast this weekend I would  
have done  the same(went to the pub instead). If you guys keep this up  
we will  be just a few hours away. Give me a heads up the next time you  
head  to the coast I'd like to compare notes with some of the GODX  
(gaints  of DX).

Thank you.....
