Re: [IRCA] Ultralight "Cliffhanger" DU-DXpeditions

Brian,

If you are interested in seeing the actual scenery and ocean views from these two Highway 101 sheer ocean cliffs in Oregon,, a couple of on-site DXpedition videos were taken during last summer's Ultralight DU-chasing trips. The July 2012 (Cape Perpetua) video is posted at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZzBfstOXA4 , and the August 2012 (Rockwork 4) video is posted at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=filugExDz7E . The "Rockwork 4" DXpedition video includes a straight down shot from the DXing site to the rugged ocean rocks 400 feet (122 meters) directly below-- not recommended for acrophobics.

Hi Gary.

I will be spending one night in Newport and one night in Coos Bay during the 
week preceding the first DXpedition so I would like to see the sites and 
hopefully do some DXing there.

On the east side of the road in Oswald West State Park there is a large parking 
lot. About 1 mile south of that and about 2 miles north of Manzania on the west 
side of 101 I see three smaller cliff-side parking lots. Is one of those the 
Canon Beach site?

Where is that in relation to the entrance to the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center?
