[vroomski@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Listened from 1205-1438.  Spending 3 days here at the Ocean Spray Beach resort in
Grayland, WA.  Thursday will head for the IRCA convention in Seaside hosted by
Patrick Martin.  The Eton E100 was used for the loggings below.  Brought the C Crane
twin ferrite antenna and it out performed the Space Magnet. DX inside the cottage
this morning.  I have 50' of cable so I can have the antenna outside, and be inside
tuning the antenna tomorrow morning.  The Palstar R-30 cc is on the night stand in
the bedroom connected to around 150' of wire on the ground somewhat NW. A little after
1100 utc JOUB 774 was S-9+10db with a nice splatter free signal.  Signal dropped after
