[IRCA] Upper Band Loggings - Oregon Rockworks #4 DXpedition - November 2, 2013

[Guy Atkins <dx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've finished going through the Perseus WAV file from the dawn enhancement
period on November 2nd. The logs below are from 1008 to 1575 kHz.

Please see my earlier posting for the loggings from the lower half of the
band, and a description of the location.

Overall, it was an excellent morning of DXing at the Rockworks #4 cliff. I
wish I had started earlier, to capture more than a mere 45 minutes of
Perseus WAVs.
