Re: [IRCA] TP for 27 Aug from Victoria, BC

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Guy,
 
Thanks very much for your investigation, and I'm very pleased to log the  
relatively obscure 846-2RN with the Ultralight gear in Lincoln City (and 
record  the MP3 with the RN identification).
 
Rather than give credit to the Ultralight, modest loop, or half-asleep  
DXer, however, the credit should probably go to the South Pacific propagation 
to  Lincoln City, Oregon, which has repeatedly allowed reception of many  
such obscure DU's on humble Ultralight gear this past month. I wish we had more 
 time to investigate the phenomena, but Asiatic TP's were already starting  
to mix in with the DU's on 594, 657 and 666 kHz during the Lincoln City 
trip  last week.
 
Anyway, I sure know where I am headed for DU-chasing next  summer :-)
 
73, Gary

Hi  Gary,

Great job on catching 2RN with your ultralight radio setup. I  took a look 
in
the Grayland Master Log maintained by Chuck, and there are  only two
confirmed loggings of 2RN shown. One was in 1997 by David Clark  (heard //
792 and 585), and the 2nd instance was a log by Jean Burnell (//  792).
