Thanks, Nick.
Of course if I was as dedicated as our IRCA Technical Editor I would have made a detailed band check and TP-DX report yesterday morning-- but it's much more fun trying a wacky "Ferrite Frankenstein" gain boost to see how scary I can make 1566-HLAZ sound :-)
This multiple FSL phasing system may hold promise during future DXpeditions, assuming that ocean cliff weather doesn't send the "Frequent Flyers" sailing into the Pacific.
73, Gary

Hope that you enjoyed your overnight visit to Jeju Island Gary. I
was quite pleased with HLAZ' signal near sunrise this morning, but
your reception decidedly blew that out of the water. That was quite
a menacing looking pair of FSLs too.
best wishes,
Nick
