Re: [IRCA] TP Rpt from Gualala, CA 11/14 & 11/17



Hi Craig, 

<<< Conditions continue to be poor. From a spot overlooking the Pacific just north of Gualala, CA, only 747 JOIB and 774 JOUB have been present, with decent audio on peaks. A limited assortment of hets have been detected. No DUs noted. 

Best of DX,

You probably did about as well as could be expected, Craig. Northern California is a very tough place to chase TP-DX, with the ocean beach propagation making San Francisco pests cover up to the northern Oregon coast in the daytime. The problem in California is that almost every MW frequency has a California station on it, and the ocean coast propagation enhances the coastal pests (LA and SF) as well as the weaker TP's. Several of these SF-area pests are daytimers at the Rockwork 4 site near Manzanita, Oregon-- audible around local noon. 

DXers who live in the Northwest should be thankful that they avoid this problem. I'm sure that you will have far better TP-DXing luck in Kalaloch next spring!
