Re: [IRCA] Rockworks, Oregon Non-DX Report for Oct. 24th

[Chuck Hutton <charlesh3@xxxxxxx>]

Gary - 
 
We split up with the idea of comparing the 2 locations. We think 4 has horizon blockage from 300 degrees northward so might not give us some Asians. It does have a better "backscreen" cliff wall behind it.
 
Rockworks 2 has no horizon blockage towards Asia. But a bit more signal might leak in from behind with the less imposing cliff wall behind it.
 
Guy and I have a better impression of Asiatic reception from Rockworks  4 than you. Perhaps because we have been there in the fall (TP season) while your comments mention July lack of TPs.
