Re: [IRCA] Re : IRCA 88--35--2 Oregon Cliff DX

Hi Bill,

The ocean cliffs on the Oregon coastline seem to really boost the South 
Pacific DX signals for me during summer listening sessions, but I've 
never run A/B signal level tests with someone at sea level on the 
beach, so I can't tell you exactly how much of a gain advantage this 
elevation boost provides. My own impression is that the DU-DXing gain 
boost provided at "Rockwork" (about 400 feet above sea level) was much 
greater than that at Lincoln City (about 80 feet above sea level), but 
of course the daily variations in propagation come into play, so it's 
difficult to give scientifically accurate judgements for the two 
different locations. After experiencing "Rockwork," though, I'm pretty 
sure that I'll never DX at Lincoln City again :-)

73, Gary

Hi Gary,
I'm not a professional signal seeker and I don't have the experience in 
the field so to speak but I'm wondering if there's an advantage of high 
elevation near water over sea level right on the beach for capturing 
TOs ( trans ocean) signals. Does capture on top of a high cliff 
actually result in stronger reception than would a location just a few 
feet above water? And what about using the cliff as a domestic signal 
nulling wall to reduce signal strength from any inland local signals 
that you might want to eliminate to reduce frequency interference from 
the back? Let me know if there's any logic in my thinking about this. 
Thanks Bill in BC
