[IRCA] Grayland DU's for 6-15

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello Guys,
 
     With the primary objective of testing out the new  30-inch loopstick 
ICF-2010 as an Ultralight "spotting receiver,"  it  was a very interesting early 
morning at Grayland.
 
     The modified 2010 certainly was a hot performer,  receiving audio on 7 
DU's and 1 TP, but only two of these had enough signal  strength to be received 
on a stock SRF-T615 Ultralight (Tahiti-738 and  JOUB-774).  The DU audios 
were fading in and out constantly, making it  tough to try for solid reception on 
the Ultralights with limited  selectivity.
 
     Heard with audio on the modified ICF-2010  were the following, with 
presumed ID's except as noted:
 
567-2YA weak with music at 1155;  parallel 756-1YA heard weakly later,  but 
not together
 
612-4QR fair with DU talk at 1235
 
657-2YC weak with music at 1215,  parallel 963 had only strong  het
 
738-Tahiti monster signal at 1236 (but little modulation);  audio  barely 
heard on stock SRF-T615
 
756-1YA weak with music at 1239;  567 parallel gone by then
 
774-JOUB moderate-strong at 1126 with language program;  heard at  fair level 
on stock SRF-T615
 
891-5AN presumed the one with fair DU talk program at 1208;   no sign of 
horse racing
 
1116-4BC fair with DU EE talk program at 1217
 
     Radio Marshalls (presumed) on 1098 had a booming  signal at 1242 with 
absolutely no modulation,  either by accident or  design.  It sounded pretty 
similar to a local with an open carrier.
 
     Thanks to John for his list of Aussie and NZ  parallels, and for the 
detailed information on his loggings two weeks ago. Many  of these showed up 
weakly at Grayland this morning, although the signal  strengths were nothing to 
shout about.  Thanks also to Steve, Nick and  Dennis for the daily DU reports, 
which give great help in sorting out  the possible targets.
 
     If anyone is interested in seeing what an ICF-2010  with a 30-inch 
loopstick looks like, there are a couple of photos in the  Ultralightdx Yahoo group 
site, in the album "Loopstick Lunacy."  It looks  similar to a shotgun barrel 
with a laptop computer attached, and as Guy Atkins  has noted, would never 
make it past airport security, hi.
 
                                                                              
    73,  Gary
