[IRCA] Cannon Beach (OR) Area DXpedition

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,

After stumbling across some unusual DU propagation last month at a 
Highway 101 turnoff site on Cape Perpetua, the plan is to push my 
Ultralight TP-DXing luck at another Oregon ocean coast cliff site near 
Cannon Beach from Monday- Friday (20th to the 24th) next week. Last 
month's trip brought some New Zealand DX at very strong signal levels, 
possibly related to the new FSL antenna tapping into a sheer cliff 
propagation advantage mentioned in a study by British scientists 
(kindly referenced by Nick).

During this trip I plan to set up with FSL's at another high elevation 
Highway 101 turnoff site on Cape Falcon, about 15 minutes south of 
Cannon Beach. This site also required some serious rock to be blasted 
off of the cliff in order to route Highway 101 around the site-- 
providing a chance to test out the theory that if a large amount of 
rock had to be blasted off of a cliff, the site's TP-DXing advantage 
may turn out to be dynamite.

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