[IRCA] DXing tomorrow AM from Pimentel, Peru

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We've been in Peru for four days, having a great time seeing pre-Inca 
archeology on the North Coast and staying at Chiclayo.  I've arranged 
through friends of friends (with a cousin or two thrown in) to be met 
by a car at our hotel at 2:30AM local time.  We'll drive about 20 
minutes straight west of Chiclayo to the little beach community of 
Pimentel.  There is a 600 foot pier extending into the open Pacific, 
pointing SW  at Australia that is easily visible on Google earth. 
Unless the pier is too noisy, I'll string out a 400 foot BOG on the 
pier (that would be a BOP, I believe!) and DX from there from 0900 to 
1200 UTC on Monday.

If the pier is too noisy, we'll go just south of Pimentel on the 
Pan-Am highway and string a 400 foot BOG onto the sand.

I'm using a hotrodded E100 and a Kaito 1103 spotting receiver, both 
of which have` been modified to connect directly to the BOG.h

I'm afraid that this will be my only opportunity to DX from the coast 
as there are security problems in Trujillo (our next stop south of 
Chiclayo and then we head into the Andes.  I'll definitely do a night 
bandscan from Macchu Picchu, tho.

Very encouraged about the reports of TP conditions this morning, even 
if you guys couldn't get up at a reasonable hopur :>)
