Thanks Walt, We still hope that you and the other Victoria DXers can join us for a DXing session sometime again in Grayland, even though Vancouver Island probably has many great ocean beach locations more convenient for you. Grayland is not quite as exotic as Italy or the Queen Charlottes, but the South Pacific can really boom in there when DXers hit the summer dates right. 73, Gary In a message dated 7/24/2009 8:51:43 P.M.
