And, ain't it interesting how conditions change over the
decades. I'll bet 6DL was a regular at Grayland in the 80's. It
was not unknown on the west coast Vancouver Island then, and was even
heard at home using a 3' box loop and homebrew receiver, as was the
W. Australia station on 558. Yes, noise and splatter levels are
generally higher now, but my recollection was that they weren't that
difficult when they were heard.
Congratulations, John, on what is now a rare catch.
best wishes,
Nick
