I enjoyed reading your report as usual, Gary. :)
Something I've been thinking about re: your reception reports..."Signals that
pegged the meter at 25 dB S/N" ...
I'd like to see some distinction if possible (especially on future reports)
between stations that merely flash 25 dB briefly once or a few times during the
session when you're in the +/- 1 kHz BW setting, versus stations that have it
solidly pegged at 25 dB S/N even in the +/- 6 kHz BW setting, or something like
that. :)
Also, while the giant FSLs are interesting, I'm also interested in learning
more about smaller affordable FSLs. I'm especially interested in ones such
that the FSL *AND* ULR combined fit within the 20 cubic inches and $100 cost of
ULR definitions. :) Also what about using ultra-short rods to build an FSL
around the perimeter of a hollowed-out ULR, for example taking the shell of a
DT-400W, putting an SRF-59's guts in it and putting an FSL around its
perimeter? At what point, when going ultra-small/cheap with an FSL, is it
better to just use a comparable-size/price ferrite bar or a simple air-core
loop or something like that?

on your reports from Puyallup, I guess I haven't missed out on much.)

Hello All,
For those interested, a full article describing the 3-day Grayland Ultralight
DXpedition conducted with the new 17" FSL antenna on Veterans Day weekend has
been uploaded at
http://www.mediafire.com/view/k7boymq62q2p5v1/November_2014_Grayland_Ultralight_DXpedition.doc
, and will shortly be uploaded to the Yahoo Ultralightdx file site.
Describing the rare chance to take oversized items like the 17" FSL antenna and
the 30" loopstick Sony ICF-2010 model to the ocean coast, the article includes
multiple photos of the TP-DXing setup at the end of Grayland Beach Road, along
with MP3 links for 39 Asian DX recordings made at the site. Thanks very much to
Phil Bytheway for already posting summary articles of the DXpedition to the
club bulletins-- this full DXpedition article was something that I had not
planned to write, but suddenly decided was more interesting to complete than
chasing wispy TP audio during dreary sunrise DXing sessions at my landlocked
home location :-)
73 and Good DX,
Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)
