Re: [IRCA] Correction to July 12 Grayland DU Log



Is this or something similar feasible for us to use at LBI? Remember however, that Grayland is a low RF area.

Hi Derek,
Thanks for your comments. My main antenna at Grayland for the July 12th trip was an 8' (diagonal) tuned passive loop on a collapsible PVC frame, which was one of the experimental creations here this spring. It is one of several variants of the standard PVC Loop, for which a general article is being wrapped up. Besides this collapsible frame variant (designed for travel in a compact car), there have been 18" and 2' tabletop PVC Loop variants, 3', 4' and 5' indoor models, a 7' longwave model, 6', 7', 8' and 9' (side) monster MW models, and waterproofing designs. John Bryant has advised me to finish up the basic PVC Loop article as a priority project, and deal with the different variant articles later. The performance of the 8' PVC Loop at Grayland was a real thrill, and it has certainly earned itself a spot in my future DXpeditions. With a total cost of only about $65 in parts, it provides a tremendous amount of gain for the $$. John and I talked about running an A/B test with his Wellbrook Array against the 8' PVC Loop, but we were kind of rushed for time, and never got around to it during this trip. Besides "Sharina the Psychic" on 4BC-1116, there were also strong MP3's made of Tahiti-738, 4RN-792, 2YA-567, and KPUA-670 (in Hilo Hawaii) using this 8' PVC Loop, some of which I plan to upload to the Ultralightdx Yahoo file site ( or are available to anyone interested). 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA) In a message dated 7/15/2009 2:43:44 P.M.

I think there was a site where you had the instructions for it .. I'm a bit of a dim wit when it comes to putting stuff together.... Anywho.. Great job on the recording.. How did the wellbrook do??? I'd like to do a A/B of the two.. It seems like these ULRs are getting better ad better.. I'm still surprised how well the T615 does.
What happend to the grundig G3..

Hi Derek,

You should have the MP3 of 4BC-1116 in Brisbane, Australia (with "Sharina the Psychic" show at 1212 UTC, recorded at Grayland) by now. Sharina's mumbling speech almost made it necessary for a Psychic to ID the station, but
 fortunately a male co-host gave the web site address
(_http://www.sharina.com.au_ (http://www.sharina.com.au) ) to provide a positive ID, matching the
data on 4BC's web  site.

73, Gary

 Hello  All,

Further investigation of an MP3  recorded on 1116 kHz at  1214 UTC
reveals
that a  web site address matches a  program running at the time on  the
4BC
station  in  Brisbane, Australia,  not the 3AK station in Melbourne.

"Sharina's Psychic  Encounters" was running from 10-12 PM on Sunday
night  on
4BC in Brisbane, and the announcer (Sharina?) gave a web site address,
along  with a promotion for  "the leading  spiritualist magazine."
Apparently
 Sharina the   Psychic has a habit of speaking in a mumbling  manner,
which  makes
her  speech border on  the unintelligible (especially  through a
Murata  narrow
filter), leading to the  confusion about the station  identity. The
booming
MP3  saved the day,  however, and finally provided positive  station
 identification-- no thanks to Sharina.

73,  Gary  DeBock
