Hi Dennis, Congratulations on your fine E100 Ultralight TP loggings from the Ocean Spray Beach Resort in Grayland. You certainly did a great job with the tiny radio, and the Space Magnet loop! Our family also recently returned from an ocean beach trip to Lincoln City, Oregon (August 20-22), during which the conditions mostly favored the DU stations, but with occasional Asiatic TP reception. From now on the DU's will probably get tougher to log, so it was nice to hear them with good strength one last time this season. Thanks again for your Grayland TP-DX report, Dennis, and I hope you wouldn't mind if I re-post it on the Yahoo Ultralightdx list, where they would be very interested in your E100 TP-DX loggings. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA) In a message dated 8/26/2010 8:06:15 A.M.

Grayland Motel and cottages had no vacancies, we were able to get a cottage at Ocean Spray Beach Resort a mile North of Grayland Motel and cottages. Staying in cottage #6, which is closest to the ocean, about 300 yards. Nice picnic area behind the cottage with two picnic benches. Have two radios, Palstar R-30cc and Eton E100. Antennas are two Space Magnet loops. A lot of noise in the cabin, so I DX outside on the picnic bench from 1256-1346 utc. 639 UNKNOWN 1336 threshold audio TP direction. 666 JAPAN, JOBK NHK1 1305 good with woman in Japanese. 684 UNKNOWN 1335 threshold audio TP direction. 693 JAPAN,JOAB NHK 1307 good with man in Japanese. 738 Tahiti, 1315 believed to be the station with music and weak signal. looped DU direction. 828 JAPAN, JOBB 1258 weak // 774.
