[IRCA] 585-2WEB Verification Letter (and goodies)

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,

Received from Production Director (and Breakfast Announcer) David Sharp 
was a very welcome verification letter (and two bumper stickers) from 
585-2WEB, a 10 kw station in Bourke, Australia. This DU station was 
received on August 15th at the "Rockwork" ocean viewpoint cliff at Cape 
Falcon on the NW Oregon coast, with a PL-380 Ultralight radio and new 
8" diameter FSL antenna.

David mentioned that mine was the first report that he has received 
from the USA during the 12 years that he's worked there, and that the 
only other report that 2WEB has received from North America during that 
time was one from Alberta (maybe Nigel?). Unlike many other stations 
2WEB and David (an avid DXer who once lived in Florida) seem very 
motivated to promptly answer reception reports, so those who have heard 
their music programs (classic rock, soft rock, country, etc.) shouldn't 
hesitate to report reception. David also keeps close records of each 
song played, so it was easy for him to confirm my reception both last 
month, and in July of last year (at Seaside, OR).

Thanks again to Chuck and Bruce, who listened to MP3's of both of these 
receptions, and suggested the identity of the station (which was right 
on, even back in July of last year).

73 and Good DX,
Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)
