We've been in Peru for four days, having a great time seeing pre-Inca
archeology on the North Coast and staying at Chiclayo. I've arranged
through friends of friends (with a cousin or two thrown in) to be met
by a car at our hotel at 2:30AM local time. We'll drive about 20
minutes straight west of Chiclayo to the little beach community of
Pimentel. There is a 600 foot pier extending into the open Pacific,
pointing SW at Australia that is easily visible on Google earth.
Unless the pier is too noisy, I'll string out a 400 foot BOG on the
pier (that would be a BOP, I believe!) and DX from there from 0900 to
1200 UTC on Monday.
If the pier is too noisy, we'll go just south of Pimentel on the
Pan-Am highway and string a 400 foot BOG onto the sand.
I'm using a hotrodded E100 and a Kaito 1103 spotting receiver, both
of which have` been modified to connect directly to the BOG.h
I'm afraid that this will be my only opportunity to DX from the coast
as there are security problems in Trujillo (our next stop south of
Chiclayo and then we head into the Andes. I'll definitely do a night
bandscan from Macchu Picchu, tho.
Very encouraged about the reports of TP conditions this morning, even
if you guys couldn't get up at a reasonable hopur :>)
