[IRCA] PEI DXing. was: Re: Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-31

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

I think PEI has the inside edge to a lot of DX, Gary.  We were on the 
northern shore of Howe Bay, with a good water path to South America, 
but in fact there was a bit of a land path to much of northern Europe 
and the Middle East, and certainly to Asia, yet heard some amazing 
signals.  I suspect that mucky red soil is fairly conductive, but 
still.   And the antennas used were corner fed loops and an ALA100, 
suburban yard antennas.

best wishes,

Nick
