Thanks for the BOG suggestion, Nick, but these three mornings will be a typical Ultralight radio DXpedition-- minus the ocean cliff. The lack of a cliff will mean the lack of cliff-provided domestic signal rejection and cliff-side TP propagation enhancement, but the all-new 17" DXpedition FSL antenna (which you saw at Guy's get-together in late August) should have enough sensitivity to pull in a few Asians :-) Since my wife and son aren't coming along I had the rare chance to stuff the Toyota Corolla with the latest fanatical ULR DXpedition gear, including the 30" loopstick ICF-2010 spotting receiver and a 12" Longwave-optimized FSL antenna. Hopefully the long weekend will feature some interesting signals for you, me and the LBI DXpedition group. 73, Gary DeBock (at the Grayland Motel for the first time in 5 years).
