Not having much news on new ULR catches here, I've been testing the SDR wav files uploaded by DXers like Guy Atkins, also from Grayland. I don't own a SDR receiver yet, but the Winrad software and those files have allowed me to have an idea of how Grayland sounds: lots of fun with Japanese, Korean and farther stations. We envy you a lot guys!
Good listening and we look forward to read your reports !! Horacio A.

Traveling separately, John will be bringing his outstanding, state-of-the-art Wellbrook Loop array for setup between the motel and the ocean beach, while I will be bringing a somewhat more modest system developed during recent experimentation-- a collapsible-frame 8' (diagonal) tuned passive loop constructed with lightweight PVC, and also an all-PVC altazimuth tilting base. Of course I don't seriously hope to compete with him in chasing DX, but these ultra-cheap PVC systems certainly provide huge DXing gain for the $50 investment-- and work perfectly with the overload-proof PL-300WT and G8 DSP-system radios. Guy Atkins wished to join us for the DX sessions, but was unfortunately wasn't able to fit it into his schedule. We do plan to welcome him for a nice Sunday lunch together at the best restaurant in Grayland, however, and share our impressions of the sunrise DX (or lack thereof). John plans to stay an extra day to enjoy Monday morning DXing, during which he will probably enjoy the best DXing session of the decade-- right after Guy and I are safely back in Puyallup. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA) **************Summer concert season is here!
