Re: [IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Cape Perpetua) Ultralight TP's and DU's for 8-19

[Guy Atkins <dx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Neil,

Last year in September at Yachats I tried recording on a Perseus with a
7-inch FSL antenna on the roof, starting out at sea level and driving up to
the cliff side pullout near Cape Perpetua (same spot I was at one night in
July, and where Gary just finished DXing).

The drive (and recording) was approximately two and a half or three minutes
from sea level to the cliff. Despite noise issues from power lines part of
the distance and noises from the vehicle's engine, I could tell that signal
strengths kept increasing as I was going up in altitude.

If I remember right, the average boost was around 8 or 9 dB. I'm not sure
if I still have that short Perseus recording, but I'll have to snoop around
in my computer files.  It would be interesting to repeat this experiment
next time I'm in Yachats.

73,

Have any of you compared ocean cliff reception to adjacent beach reception
when using the EXACT same setup?

ie...ULR and 12" FSL on the cliff vs same make ULR and a 12" FSL on a
nearby beach?
