Hi Again Theo,

like "93-point-five... 31... PM".  2PM also uses 93.5 for Kempsey,

Wow, thanks a lot! 2PM was probably the elusive Aussie "talker" station trying to sneak in under 531-PI all week long on the Cliff. This is the first actual ID from that station that I've managed in 12 ocean beach DXpeditions, and your careful listening in greatly appreciated.

After spending a week DXing on the cliff with booming New Zealand signals every morning and then returning to this DU-dead zone of Puyallup, I'm feeling a little bit like a transplanted Kiwi myself :-)

73, Gary

day of all, with both Australian and New Zealand stations pegging the PL-380 S/N 
on certain frequencies. Several Aussies which had been weak or MIA all week 
suddenly became vibrant, and three of them (702, 729 and 747) were able to break 
through serious domestic splatter for the first time at Rockwork. 747-4QS audio 
was heard only 75 miles from 50 kW 750-Portland, no doubt due to the solid rock 
cliff helping to silence the pest on the back side.

week, confirming a strange pattern of summertime immunity from any DU 
propagation collapse. Although the Cliff definitely favors New Zealand signals 
(with 531, 567, 603, 657, 675 and 765 very strong on 7 out of 7 days), it will 
greatly enhance Aussie signals as well on certain days, like today. Discovery 
and confirmation of this freakish cliff-side DU propagation has made this 
DXpedition very exciting, and the compact FSL antenna has proven to be the 
perfect tool for taking advantage of these concentrated South Pacific signal 
boosts.
