[IRCA] DXpedition to Chesapeake Bay

[Bill Whitacre <bw@xxxxxxx>]

I just returned from a short, cold and windy DXpedition to a house called Waters Edge near Fleeton, VA -- just a couple of roads down from a place I've been a few times in the past - Bay House.

Conditions were 'interesting' - both from a propagation and weather perspective.

I'm still going through wav files and putting up sounds but you can have a look at what's there now and 'follow along' over the next week or so as I add more at this URL:

Highlights included, so far; Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, tons of Cubans and what must be nearly every station in Florida!  Some of this on a night [Jan. 7-8] with an A index up well above 30 but a couple of de-telescoped masts on my 160' DKAZ facing ~145 degrees.

Anyway, now that I've had a chance to warm up, it was fun and educational -- NEVER by crappy tie-wraps and expect them to last through REALLY cold weather and wind!
