The total lack of DU propagation to this valley location has provided additional motivation to review some of the obscure files of the two summer DXpeditions to the Rockwork 4 ocean cliff site near Manzanita, Oregon. The following MP3 links were either not published, or were cut short to a much briefer version. All of these DU stations were received at potent strength levels, including 531-More FM (apparently for the first time in North America under this name, during the June DXpedition). 531 More FM Alexandra, New Zealand (2 kW) Totally dominant over the Samoan language station PI for a two minute period at 1214 on June 26th. A "More of that fun, on More FM" ID is at 26 seconds into the recording. PI's signal returns in a mix at the end of the MP3 https://app.box.com/s/wlvuvwtlrr7cfzieok09o5n7pj8nixx0 558 Radio Fiji Suva, Fiji (10 kW) Near S9 level with typical Polynesian choral music at 1300 on 8-10.

This 2.5 kW overachiever acts like a Kiwi big gun on most summer mornings at the cliff. https://app.box.com/s/oegrgeb5zs8i7n911wemgi0zw9fa2pko 936 Chinese Voice Auckland, New Zealand (1 kW) Three minute run of potent level Chinese speech and music from this 1 kW overachiever at 1225 on 8-10; an Ultralight radio DX distance record for 1 kW reception in North America https://app.box.com/s/j7xhbtdgqq6p8tketkqgzkmkn7ted3cu 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (DXing at the Rockwork 4 ocean cliff in June and August) 7.5" loopstick C.Crane Skywave Ultralight + 17" and 15" FSL antennas _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
