Subject: [IRCA] ULR DX....GREAT Conditions @ SUNSET!!!! ULR # 899, 900 and 901 Logged!!!! + Some NICE RELOGS!!!
Hi Guys:
Well...I could tell it was gonna be a Good Sunset Skip Session tonight
as all the GraveYard Freqs were hopping by 1630 EST!!! The Freqs below
1200 were 2 and 3 deep as the Afternoon progressed, and I knew there
were some New Ones prowling under the Big Guns!!! 3 NEW STATIONS were
logged for the ULR LOG.....1 of those was NEW for the OVERALL LOG..and
the other 2 were CALL CHANGES for the OVERALL LOG. The 3 NEW ULR
STATIONS were all relatively CLOSE TO ME......but they put me OVER 900
ULR STATIONS HEARD!!
The Journey to 900 ULR Stations took 3 YEARS, 1 MONTH and 6 DAYS....as I
started my ULR LOG on Jan/01/2008, with a DONATED SONY SRF-59, which I
received from Gary DeBock just after Christmas . Along the way I have
amassed the following totals in my ULR LOG......
901 Total Stations Logged
848 Domestic Stations Heard
43 Latins Stations Heard
7 European/TA Stations Heard
4 Continents Heard
87 Graveyards Stations Heard
3 Pirate Stations Heard
41 States Heard
6 Provinces heard
17 Countries Heard
The Great Majority of these were logged on a SONY SRF-59 and my SONY
SRF-T615's Barefoot.....with only a few logs relying on Souped up ULRs
or External Antennas!!
I'm dedicating # 900 to our dear friend and late ULR Comrade "John
Bryant"......for all the Groundwork he laid getting the ULR DX Hobby off
the ground!! John would always Joke...."I wonder if 1,000 Stations is
possible on a ULR Receiver??...then he would laugh!!". Well John....I
can't answer that yet.......but we now know that 900 is.....and if I can
hang in there long enough....we may know if 1,000 IS POSSIBLE???
So......John, thanks for helping to make this all possible......and
crack one open up there and help me celebrate # 900!!
As well as the 3 New Stations tonight I also logged some Nice RELOGS
as January was!!
RADIO USED is.......................SONY SRF-T615 ULR Barefoot
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ULR LOG TOTALS are now..............901 STATIONS HEARD
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
