Re: [IRCA] TP loggings from Masset for 9July 2010 Lot's of X-band activity!

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Derek,
 
Walt's access to the Internet may be limited up in Masset, but his access  
to TP-DX seems wide open as usual.
 
The UnID Chinese accounted for about 20 unsolved TP loggings here last  
year, a situation common to almost everyone here in the NW, it seems. They  
really come out of the woodwork when you use a high-gain antenna, and getting  
clear ID's on the weaker ones at an inland location (like Puyallup) is  
tough.
 
73, Gary

Hey  Walt... I didn't know you had the QDFA??.. I want to build this so   
bad, but I'm worried about signal overload from nearby pests.. I  want  
this antenna almost as bad as I want to look in Guy Atkins  third party  
plugin folder. I hope to make it to the big showdown in  Oregon.. Hey  
Gary.. Ready for those unid CC this year??? I know the  spiders are in  
fill bloom there.. EEEK!!!

Thank  you.....
