[IRCA] TP's for 08/26/10

[vroomski@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Good Morning,

My wife told me Tuesday that she wanted to go to Grayland for her birthday.
Grayland Motel and cottages had no vacancies, we were able to get a cottage
at Ocean Spray Beach Resort a mile North of Grayland Motel and cottages.
Staying in cottage #6, which is closest to the ocean, about 300 yards.
Nice picnic area behind the cottage with two picnic benches.  Have two radios,
Palstar R-30cc and Eton E100. Antennas are two Space Magnet loops.  A lot of 
noise in the cabin, so I DX outside on the picnic bench from 1256-1346 utc.
