Re: [IRCA] Recent DXpedition to Grayland, WA & Florence, OR

Hi Rob,

Well, brother, when you stumble upon an ideal ocean cliff site by blind 
luck and DU's (with a notoriously weak reputation) are suddenly testing 
the crunch resistance of your PL-380 Ultralight, it's definitely time 
to push your bizarre luck for all it's worth!

After all, the summer will soon be over... and our only excitement will 
be fighting off the raccoons and coyotes as we chase new NDB's in our 
frozen back yards! This is my last chance to feel like Allen Willie 
does in Newfoundland...

73, Gary
