I made my 17th visit to Grayland, WA between February 18 - 24, 2018. Since the Grayland Motel closed a year ago I have had to find an alternative location for DXpeditioning. Such a place exists, albiet a bit more expensive and with a bit less land to work with, just a couple of lots down the beach called Casa Sea Esta - a HomeAway rental. For nearly the entire time I used a 160' DKAZ antenna aimed at 300 deg. true North errected 'beyond the berm' on the grassy area of the beach. Results so far are promising though I wish I had pointed the DKAZ a little further south given its broad back null and equally broad front lobe. I was not nulling Seattle & Vancouver, BC stations near as well as Portland.
I'm just starting the wav file review process but the hightlight so far is Cambodia on 918kHz. There are also several Philippine stations in the wav files, including a new one for me on 1611kHz. Lots of Japanese and Alaskans round things out. You can see and hear what I have reviewed so far at the following webpage: http://realmonitor.com/am_logs_grayland17.php Bill Whitacre Alexandria, VA _______________________________________________ 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]
