Today's report may look like I was at Grayland, but I was actually
DXing from home. Last night i decided to use the southwest lobe of
the K9AY in hopes of hearing DUs. I hadn't tried this i the past
because that direction also points at several local 50 kw transmitter sites.
The results exceeded my wildest expectations, with carriers on most
9 kHz channels. Except for 1566, they were all DU too. I may want
to try this approach more often.
