Re: [IRCA] 1152 at 15:00 this morning

Nick:

1269 appears in our Nick-Chuck-Bruce 2014 Grayland DXpedition report.

Yes, a coastal report would be nice. I've collected all the logs from Gary, Bill W and myself with the intent of adding a sheet to the Grayland Master Log and making it into a NW Coastal Log. When will it happen? Not real soon, as I haven't even gotten around to listening to most of my DX from 2015, including 3 Rockworks trips plus a Grayland trip. 

Chuck

Thanks for pointing that out Chuck.  Your contributions are always helpful.

It is difficult to keep track of all these, as the Grayland Master
Log references only two loggings of 558 in 20 years, the last in
2013.    I wasn't aware it had been logged so frequently since then,
hence my use of the adjective "rare" on the coast.   I think we had
more than two loggings of 558 from the infrequent visits to Jordan
River in the 80s, plus the logging in town using the laughable tuned
loop.  558 has not particularly become a more difficult frequency
here, and the Flags and SDR techniques are a great improvement on
what I was using then.

1152 is an interesting addition in recent years, as I know Bill has
logged it at least 3 times in that period.   That wasn't heard in
earlier years to my recollection, though may be the product of our
Drift Net DXing techniques using SDRs.

1269 I'm afraid is the stuff of legend in any references I can find
right now, as is "etc".   I know Patrick Martin heard 6XM-1188 a
number of years ago, and it was heard once at Sans Souci in 2013.

I like Walt's idea of a coastal reference.   Do I like it enough to
do the work?   We'll see.   The Grayland Master Log is certainly an
excellent starting point.

best wishes,

Nick
