[IRCA] ULTRALIGHT DX...Sunnrise Skip...3 NEW ONES Today!!

[Robert Ross <va3sw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys:

   As of last night at 6 PM, I am officially on my Christmas Holidays for 
the next 11 Days....and will now have some time to devote to some serious 
ULR DXing as I attempt to hit the 600 ULR Stations Plateau before the end 
of the year! This morning I was up early to catch some Sunrise Skip....and 
it was a GOOD morning with 3 NEW Ones Logged...all of which are also NEW to 
the OVERALL LOG!!!

Also had a RELOG of BAHAMAS  1540 on Tuesday Night............

This Puts me at 580 Stations Heard on ULR with 14 Days to go before the end 
of the year. Still gonna be a chore....but with some luck....and decent 
propagation....I may be able to break 600 in my first year of ULR DXing!!

Have our Work Christmas Party early this evening..so I won't get much 
Sunset Skip in today....but after that...I'm clear til Christmas...so I 
should be able to hit both Sunrise and Sunset Skip every day as the March 
continues!

Radio Used this morning was...........SOINY SRF-T615  with 2 1/2 Foot 
Homebrew Tuneable Box Loop.

Radio Used for the Bahamas Logging was........ETON E-100 Slider with Murata 
Filter

ULR STATION TOTALS are now................580 Stations Heard.
