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

[Bill Whitacre <bw@xxxxxxx>]

That IS a great demo video Gary.  And great loggings too, as usual.

If it’s July on the northwest coast radio guys are out doing crazy things to hear DU DX!

I went by Rockworks 4 yesterday and once you saw it, Mark, you would NOT want to attempt a DKAZ!  Even those who do not suffer from vertigo would ‘think twice’ about the drop!  ;-)

However, a 160’ DKAZ erected at 800’ ASL down the coast a bit between Yachats and Florence, OR was getting almost as good a signal on 531 as Gary had.  More later but I just arrived at a place called San Souci up an old logging road about a mile off Rt. 101 in a Home Away rental that I’ve been to a couple of previous summers and it never fails to satisfy.

BTW, I’m NOT using remote Rt on this DKAZ nor one I left behind for a few days at Grayland.  Ended up using the old ‘bring the radio to the antenna’ method using a very nice Anker battery that puts out 5V [for the Perseus] and 12V [for a Wellbrook FLG100LN] at the same time!  Ended up terminating the Grayland DKAZ with 867 ohms and the one here in San Souci with 820 ohms.  More later on null depths but they’re ‘sufficient.'
