Dxed a 1/4 mile South of yesterdays location. About 100' above the beach on
the highway. A fast pace 55 minutes of TP dxing. This dxing from a level above
the beach is great, thanks Gary for discovering this method of dxing. Probably
won't dx Sunday morning. Heading
Today's activities are over.
Nice view from the Astoria Tower.
30 minute business meeting.
Good banquet
Auction netted about $150.
Lots of DX discussions.
Tomorrow at 10 AM, some of the folks will take a tour of Tillamook.
I will be driving back to Seattle about mid-day... pretty tired right
I'm glad that you had a good time! I hope that it was an all-around boost for
the club. 'Lots of people there this time??? That Tillamook cheese tour sounds
delicious. 'Love that stuff. I can find their cheese down here but never the

Hi Dennis,
Wow, that's quite a collection of Ultralight TP's with your E100 and Space
Magnet Loop! I'm happy that you had so much fun chasing TP's on an Oregon
cliff above the Pacific, and the cliff certainly seems to have given your
ULR DXing station a huge boost in TP reception (like

918 is very likely to be Shandong (China). If you hang around the channel a
while, you will hear them ID in English as News Radio. At Grayland, the
Korean has always been much weaker than China.
1188: this should be FEBC from Seoul (Republic Of Korea), not DPR.
That's a nice list
Up a little early for my Sunday morning run and turned on the radio.
1593 kHz UNID (China?) 9/26 1333-1433UTC Chinese talk alternating between a

Thanks Patrick for hosting this fine convention and Phil for doing great MC
work at the auction. ... back by popular demand of course, hi.
I had a great time, deciding to attend at the last moment, and it was good to
see and talk with everyone.
Cheers and 73- Doug

Chinese on 1593 is definitely Changzhou. If you recorded over the hour and had
any audio at all, you should be able to hear the standard theme music of China
National Radio even if you can not understand the ID.

Thanks for the information on 918 Shandong, China. This roadside pullout was

Hello All,
The Asian regulars had no trouble showing up here this morning, but
second-tier TP audio was rare at best. On a second day of fairly average
conditions, there were a few minor TP surprises, but DXers returning from the
IRCA convention probably didn't miss much. The back
I'll second Doug's sentiments about the convention. Thanks to
Patrick, for hosting it, and to Phil for the auction. Evelyn and I had fun.

I'm hearing it here in Seattle with CKWX phased down. No ID yet but
definite Spanish at 17:32 local time. It's fair at best and mostly has
a weakish signal, but sunset isn't for another couple of hours.

Some so-so moments where it seems like things will break open, then fades
down. Latest was France 945. Seems to have since stabilized a bit, but on
the minus side just below audio thresholds. Sat on a few channels like 972

Up a little early for my Sunday morning run and turned on the radio.
Which makes me suspect Portgual, at 2216. Not in long. Then 531 for
unusually strong Arabic vocals, France in and out on 945, hints of stuff
elsewhere...

It was in very strong here at 1910 local, presumably just before power
change, with La Mexicana, with CKWX only lightly phased. Now at 2000
local, not a sign of them, so the 490 watts is doing about as poorly as
expected. Ah well, a new station is a new station! Plus, this indicates
they won't
Oh my, this may explain the Spanish mx I had for a couple minutes around 1920
PDT tonite mixing with CKWX and others. A check of the FCC site shows a very
favorable pattern for skip towards the east and north east with 25 kw days. CX
were decent as I noted News 1130 in passing as early as 1910
KPWX is very audible under CKWX tonight off the SW EWE. Their 490w even
in a null seems to be doing well.

Thanks to everyone that came making the convention a very good one.
Everything worked out nicely, including the station tours, the trip up
to the Astoria Column, and today a trip to Tillamook to the Tillamook
Cheese Factory, the Air Museum, and a run by KTIL-1590. A special thank
you goes to Phil
