Re: [IRCA] TP DX Report March 28 Rockaway Beach

Gary,

I'm sure the FSL has a lot to do with it. That antenna is awesome! The early ionospheric report indicates potentially improving conditions. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm also looking forward to Hawaii! I hope you and yours have a wonderful trip! I look forward to discussing a potential future DXpedition with you on the coast! This has been a great trip. Thanks again!

Best of DX

I'm feeling somewhat spoiled by the conditions during my first morning DX session at Kalaloch. I also wonder if the Olympic Mountains to the east of that location help attenuate some of the BCB signals from the lower 48.
