Subject: [IRCA] Mini DXpedition

This weekend I'll be treating my Lady to a long weekend in a rather isolated lodge and taking my newly acquired and repaired (unmodified) R71A. It was a very rough tax season for both of us and we both need to be away from people for a while.

KBRK and KJJQ are the nearest MW stations and neither should be overpowering at that site. Antenna will be a simple longwire, length and direction to be determined once we get there. None of my loops or actives so I can get a baseline idea of reception compared to other reports for the same time period. I'll do day/night lsr/lss band scans as time and the XYL permit. (Don't bet on any lsr reports)

The location is about halfway between Volga and Estelline, SD. Not taking the laptop so the report will have to wait until I get back early next week.

We'll have the place to ourselves but I'm told the 4 cabins and lodge can accommodate up to 30 people so I'm scouting it for a possible early fall group DXpedition and for $250/night the whole place can be had off hunting season or $60/night for a 4 person cabin. T

Good DXing this weekend.
