[IRCA] Grayland expedition
For those of us sitting in the warm listening to not very much, your
exploits in the pursuit of ultimate DX must qualify you for some sort
of award Gary.
I did stuff like that ....about 30 years ago, hi.
best wishes,

Grayland, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-8 (Conclusion)
Hello All,
An impromptu weekend run to Grayland kicked off with a bang this
morning with Japanese, Korean and Chinese stations all pounding in
for a wild 4 hour session. A new 17" FSL antenna was set up near the
picnic table at the end of Grayland Beach road, and it managed to
track down at least 15 Asians which pegged the PL-380's S/N readout.
The deserted beach was clear and cold at my 1115 UTC (0315 local)
start time, but the big gun Japanese and Koreans on 594, 747, 972,
1134 and 1566 had already reached S9 levels an hour before inside my
Grayland Motel Room 11 ($65 a night, with absolutely no frills).
Hurrying to the cold beach I brought along the 30" loopstick
ICF-2010 spotting receiver, 12" Longwave FSL and the new 17"
DXpedition FSL-.....
....and four hours in the 41 degree cold and wind had taken its toll.
