[IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 6-26

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
Although both Chuck and I showed up at the Rockwork 4 cliff this early morning an UnID motorist had the audacity to park his van right at Chuck's preferred antenna setup site-- causing both of usÂtoÂscramble, and nail down newÂDXing positions. Chuck set up at "my" spot, while I set up three mega-FSL's staring the UnID motorist down at close range. As such, he didn't seem very motivated to get out of his vanÂto find out what we were up to. 
 
S9Âsignals from New Zealand returned with a vengeance to the "Kiwi Cliff" this morning as they shoved the Australian signals way down in the noise. Despite this the high-priority new Kiwi targets on 702 and 891 seem to have run out of Magic, and the really obscure NZ signals on 558, 576, 585 and 936 still are playing hard to get. Chuck didn't seem very impressed with the propagation, althoughÂseveral Kiwi regulars did manage a potent propagation kick around 1230 UTC. By 1300 even the Kiwis were tanking it, though, which seems pretty typical for this late June period. The big stars of the morning were the Maori parallels on 603 and 765-- both of which managed several S9 peaks with their distinctive Polynesian music 684-Rhema also put on a great show, and 1008-Newstalk ZB had about the strongest signal it's ever managed for me at this location. 531-PI reclaimed its usual dominant position over its Aussie co-channels, but not without several nasty snarls. Overall I thought it was a pretty decent morning, although Chuck seemed to be looking forÂat least a few NZ exotics. Maybe tomorrow, when Tom R.Âis due to join us?
