[IRCA] August 2012 Oregon C liff Ultalight DXpedition Results

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,

For those interested in the fanatical sport of chasing Transoceanic DX 
on sheer ocean side cliffs with Ultralight radios and FSL antennas, a 
file describing the 5-day South Pacific DXing results at Oregon's 
"Rockwork 4" (a sheer 400 foot cliff in Tillamook County, south of 
Cannon Beach) has been uploiaded to 
http://www.mediafire.com/view/?fiq0reu0csswixw , and to the 
Ultralightdx Yahoo group file section.

Detailing the thrilling experience of receiving bizarre-strength New 
Zealand stations at the top of a sheer ocean cliff with a straight-down 
drop off to the Pacific below, the DXpedition report describes the goal 
of duplicating the freakish-strength South Pacific propagation observed 
during the July DXpedition to Cape Perpetua, especially the search for 
an Oregon cliff site of near-identical topography which could also 
provide DU signals of S/N readout-pegging levels. The search was 
successful... "Rockwork 4" provided its own freakish-strength and 
obscure DU's, including a few bizarre stations like 585-Radio Ngati 
Porou, a presumed 936-New Supremo and many others. Thanks again to 
Bruce, Chuck, Paul, Neil, Tony and others who provided ID assistance on 
obscure stations. Hopefully the DXpedition report will motivate a few 
other fanatics to head for the cliffs!

73 and Good DX,
Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)
