Re: [IRCA] July 25-26 Grayland DXpedition

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Thanks Walt,
 
We still hope that you and the other Victoria DXers can join us for a DXing 
 session sometime again in Grayland, even though Vancouver Island probably  
has many great ocean beach locations more convenient for you. Grayland is  
not quite as exotic as Italy or the Queen Charlottes, but the South Pacific  
can really boom in there when DXers hit the summer dates right.
 
73, Gary

Heh,  good luck, Gary!  Sounds like you chose a great weekend weatherwise 
at  least, although you never know whether the fog will roll in from the 
ocean  down there.  Looking forward to reading all about it in the days to  
come.....Walt
