[IRCA] ULTRALIGHT DX....ULR # 600 LOGGED and 601 and 602

[Robert Ross <va3sw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

HI Guys:

   Well...after 13 Hours of Listening to static...I have finally Logged 
ULTRALIGHT STATION # 600!! However..the parade did not stop there. Today 
was one of those days where all the stars aligned and along with Logging # 
600....I heard 2 More to bring the totals up to 602. All 3 of these 
stations are NEW to the OVERALL LOG as well.......and they are also ULR 
GRAVEYARDERS # 49, 50 and 51. As well...the Last Graveyarder logged is also 
my 1200th BCB STATION heard OVERALL!!! So...it is a TRIPLE PLAY 
Today....and brings my Ultralight DX Year to an amazing end!! It was 
looking real bad earlier today as the conditions this afternoon were real 
POOR at best. I was hearing NOTHING again...and then all of a sudden the 
floodgates opened!! I was still hearing good stuff when I was called to 
supper.....but I already had # 600....and a few spares...so I reluctantly 
trudged off to the Feeding Trough!! AHHHHA

Here are the STATS that bring me to where I am today in ULR DXing.......

First ULR Station Logged JAN/01/2008
600th ULR  Station Logged DEC/28/2008

Elapsed Time to achieve 600 Stations was........362 Days (No Listening was 
done during May, June, July, and almost all of August)

Along the way I have heard..........

567 Domestics
34 Latins
1 European
51 Graveyarders
36 States
5 Provinces
11 Countries
3 Continents

And who said you can't have a Bag of Fun with 2 Penlight Batteries!!! HAHAHHA

Thanks to everyone who paved the way for this great Sub-Culture of AM BCB 
DXing...and to all who offered encouragement and helped me during the 
Trek!! It has been a pleasure to be Part of Ultralight Dxing's First 
Year...and a Great Year it has been for all involved!! I hope my 
enthusiasm  has spilled over to a few of you...and truly hope that you are 
having as much fun as I am!!

For those who have not yet become involved with ULR DX'ing....I hope you 
will give it a try and experience what 100's of others have found to be a 
Refreshing kick to Am BCB DXing!!

Am I having Fun????.....OH YEAH!!

Radio used for todays DX was.....SONY SRF-T615 with 2 1/2 Foot Homebrew 
Tuneable Box Loop.

ULR LOG TOTALS are now............602 Stations Heard.
