Re: [IRCA] Impromptu Grayland Visit

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks for the BOG suggestion, Nick, but these three mornings will be a typical Ultralight radio DXpedition-- minus the ocean cliff. 
 
The lack of a cliff will mean the lack of cliff-provided domestic signal rejection and cliff-sideÂTP propagation enhancement, but the all-new 17" DXpedition FSL antenna (which you saw at Guy's get-together in late August) should have enough sensitivity to pull in a few Asians :-) Since my wife and son aren't coming along I had the rare chance to stuff the Toyota Corolla with the latest fanatical ULR DXpedition gear, including the 30" loopstick ICF-2010 spotting receiver and a 12" Longwave-optimized FSL antenna.ÂHopefully the long weekend willÂfeature some interesting signals for you, me and the LBI DXpedition group.

If you could find 600' of wire you could get a 
quick BOG down, Gary, the real estate is 
there. Â Â You might be pleasantly surprised.. 

Good luck. Â It was pretty good reception there a 
few weeks ago, and nobody was jumping up and down 
then about conditions in town. 

best wishes, 

Nick
