[IRCA] Quoddy House DXpedition - Dec. 1 - 8, 2012

[Bill Whitacre <bw@xxxxxxx>]

Results from a DXpedition to Quoddy House, near Lubec, Maine, from December 1 - 8 can be found here:

Best results were found with an extended DKAZ antenna pointing at 60 deg with Rt = 820 Ohms. After freezing my fingers and wearing out my hips oh how I long for a remotely variable Rt!

No Alaska logging this year. ;-) ... but I was surprised to find a few TP receptions that produced audio and came in better on the 60 deg antenna than one I had up briefly pointing 330 deg -- 'right at' Asia! Must have something to do with the auroral donut, time of year and sunspot cycle.

Anyway, my logs are presented as sound samples rather than written text.
