Hi Nick, Thanks for your comments. I suppose all DXpedition sites are tradeoffs in accessibility, isolation, and convenience. Grayland's relative isolation is a boon for antenna tinkerers hoping to escape urban QRM, but like Mark Connelly says, ultra-sensitive loops with figure-8 reception patterns might be fun at Grayland, but would not be the first choice in the Northeast. Anyway, we hope the Victoria DXers can join us for a joint session again sometime, despite the long drive to Grayland. Just like we can forget about the Puget Sound splatter, you can forget about "Village 900" and "All-News 1070." :>) 73, Gary In a message dated 7/24/2009 11:16:27 P.M.

An awful lot of our coast is trees on rocks sloping steeply into the water, and the parts that aren't, are parkland that isn't DXer friendly. Now, if Grayland was two hours from here, I'd visit more frequently... best wishes, Nick ***************************** Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected] **************A bad credit score is 600 & below.
