Re: [IRCA] South Pacific DXing Demonstration Video-- 531-PI in Auckland, NZ

Hi Derek,
 
Thanks for your comment, and I wish that you could have been there with me on the Cliff!
 
By coincidence, 2 minutes before the video 531-PI had been received at a thunderous level-- the strongest DU signal that I've ever heard

73, Gary

The ID really is the icing on the cake.  I'm also looking forward to what Chuck 
must have heard at the same site.

>> In response to several requests, on the last day of the recent Rockwork 4 
ocean cliff DXpedition I recorded a demonstration video of the process of 
receiving an actual South Pacific DX station on the modified PL-380 + FSL combo 
at the cliff side location. The 1230 UTC reception time was ideal for reception 
of a strong signal from 531-PI, a 5 kW Samoan language station at 6,858 miles 
(11,035 km) distance. Although the lighting just after local sunrise wasn't 
exactly ideal, the entire process of reception (checking the DX station carrier 
strength on the ICF-2010 SSB spotting receiver, tuning the 15" FSL antenna to 
boost the signal on the ICF-2010, entering the DX station's frequency on the 
modified PL-380 and finally coupling the PL-380 to the FSL to receive a huge 
signal boost) is shown in the demonstration video. 531-PI's signal was S9+ at 
the time, and an actual English ID from the station was fortunately recorded as 
it boomed in on the modified PL-380. Despite what the sleep-deprived narrator 
says, however, the actual distance to 531-PI from the Rockwork 4 DXpedition site 
is actually 6,858 miles (11,035 km), NOT "over 8,000 miles." After running on 
limited sleep for seven days straight, it was amazing that this guy could even 
remember how to turn on the camcorder.
