Hello All, For those interested in the challenges and rewards of setting up an Ultralight DXing station on a 400' high ocean side cliff with one of the new Ferrite Sleeve Loop antennas, a 6-page file describing the August 14-16 Medium Wave DXpedition to the "Rockwork" Oregon ocean coast view site has been uploaded to http://www.mediafire.com/?u34c3rm2ycqmy60 .
Based on the concept that a stock Ultralight radio could receive highly exotic DX if assisted by one of the new FSL's in such an awesome location, the file describes the experience of chasing South Pacific DX out in the weather for three early morning sessions, with supreme gain boosts from both the salt water environment and high cliff altitude. The highly compact FSL's finally reached their maximum potential iby providing high gain in the extremely tight space, as South Pacific stations like 603-Waatea, 684-NZ Rhema and 765-Radio Kahungunu breezed in with local-like signals. With DXpedition photos and many MP3 recording links, the article should be of interest to any DXer looking for an exciting new way to enjoy the latest improvement in highly portable antennas. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) _______________________________________________ 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]
