[IRCA] ULTRALIGHT DX......OK..It shouldn't be this hard!!!!

["Robert S.Ross VA3SW" <va3sw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys:

 Well...after logging  ULR # 599 yesterday morning..I figured by this
morning......# 600 would be in the Bag and I could sit back and relax.
NO CIGAR!!

I DX'd 4 Hours at Sunset last night..at least another 4 Hours through
the night..and about 3 Hours at Sunrise this morning...and didn't log a
single station that was new!!?? I heard a lot of Good Stuff...even WJOE
on 700 Khz again.......but no way could I find a NEW ONE!! A couple of
times I got all excited thinking I had a NEW ONE...and it turned out to
be a RELOG!! DRATS!!

I even used various Radios thinking that might help...and I got the Wife
to BUZZ all my Hair Off...thinking that a BALD HEAD might be Lucky!!
All that did was make me look like Buddha!! AHHAHHHA....Where`s my
Horseshoe.....

I guess that's what makes this hobby Fun..never knowing what is gonna
happen!! The previous 2 Days were Great, yesterday and this morning
just plain STUNK!!

Most likely when I do find # 600 I will log about 5 other new ones
within an hour of hearing it!!

I still have 4 days left til the end of the year ...so hopefully I can
squeak one more out before then!! I will not surrender....but I sure
hope I'm not in one of those 5 Days Droughts!!

I'll be back at the dials this afternoon about 1400 EST.......hoping
something better happens today.....

The Propagation Gods are making me work for this!!

73...ROB.
