Congratulations to my Rockwork cliff DXpedition partner Tom Rothlisberger for once again making out like a bandit in tracking down multiple low power Longwave beacons from Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific islands.
This past DXpedition produced a record haul for Tom, who ended up will 55 of these beacons-- including 6 which had never been heard previously from North America (such as 332-BHI in Broken Hill, Australia). On my PL-380 and 12" Longwave FSL I was able to track down one of these on August 8th (260-NF from Norfolk Island, Australia), which was my first Ultralight South Pacific NDB reception in five years. Great work, Tom! 7 years ago (in August of 2011) a newly minted NDB DXer first had the wacky idea of setting up for South Pacific NDB reception on the plunging ocean cliff with an Ultralight and 6" FSL, as detailed in the wild DXpedition report posted at http://www.mediafire.com/file/xpr8ltrxekb39sh/August_2011_Oregon_Cliff_Ultralight_LW.doc/file Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) Session Report for Tom Rothlisberger, K7WV Listening Location: Rockwork 4 (Manzanita, OR), CN85ar (45°44'37"N 123°57'30"W) Report Created On Aug 27, 2018 Receiver(s): Perseus SDR Antenna(s): Portable Flag using 60 ft/18.2 mtrs #16 wire / FLG100LN Software: Perseus V5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YYYY-MM-DD UTC kHz Call Location ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2018-08-07 12:54 238.0 KT Kaitaia - Waimanoni - Awanui, NZL 2018-08-07 12:50 260.0 NF Norfolk Island - Anson Bay, NFK 2018-08-07 12:55 269.0 CV Charleville, QD, AUS (NEW) 2018-08-07 12:51 270.0 FA Apia (Upolu Island), SMO 2018-08-08 12:07 278.0 CG Coolangatta, QD, AUS (NEW) 2018-08-07 12:52 282.5 RT Avera (Rurutu Island), AUI 2018-08-07 13:04 284.5 MH Manihi Atoll (Tuamoto Archipelago), TUA 2018-08-08 12:59 293.0 COM Cooma, NW, AUS (NEW) 2018-08-07 12:26 315.0 HO Hihifo Apt - Wallis Island, WAL (NEW) 2018-08-08 12:51 316.0 MAJ Majuro Atoll - Amata Kabua IAP, MHL 2018-08-07 12:37 320.0 AI Aitutaki - Amuri, CKS 2018-08-07 12:38 322.0 CI Chatham Islands, NZL 2018-08-07 12:45 326.0 WR Whangarei, NZL (NEW) 2018-08-07 13:05 327.0 VYI Valley Island - Kahului, HWA 2018-08-07 12:46 327.5 RE Reao Apt, TUA 2018-08-04 12:13 332.0 POA Pahoa - Hawaii Island, HWA 2018-08-07 12:53 332.0 BHI Broken Hill, NW, AUS (NEW) 2018-08-07 12:53 338.0 MA Mount Isa Apt, QD, AUS (NEW) 2018-08-08 12:50 339.0 FN Fangatau, TUA 2018-08-07 12:28 340.0 FU Funafuti, TUV (NEW) 2018-08-07 12:52 343.0 ML Minami Torishima, JPN 2018-08-07 12:46 346.0 TG Tauranga Apt, NZL 2018-08-07 12:52 347.0 TB Tubuai Apt, AUI 2018-08-07 13:06 348.0 HN Honiara, SLM 2018-08-07 12:24 349.0 TP Takapoto Apt - Fakatopatere, TUA 2018-08-07 12:35 352.0 RG Nikau - Rarotonga IAP, CKS 2018-08-08 13:00 353.0 LRE Longreach Apt, QD, AUS (NEW) 2018-08-04 12:14 353.0 LLD Lanai - Lanai Island, HWA 2018-08-07 12:27 355.0 NI Nauru - Nauru IAP, NRU 2018-08-07 12:35 358.0 OA Rangiroa Apt, TUA 2018-08-07 12:54 359.0 AMB Amberley RAAF Base, QD, AUS (NEW) 2018-08-07 12:24 364.0 MI Momi - Nadi, FJI 2018-08-07 12:35 366.0 SF Springfield, NZL 2018-08-07 12:34 366.0 PNI Pohnpei - Pohnpei Island, FSM 2018-08-07 12:54 370.0 HAO Tuamotu Archipeligo, TUA (NEW) 2018-08-07 12:55 372.0 UK Ua Huka, MAR 2018-08-07 13:05 372.0 RU Raiatea Apt Uturoa, OCE 2018-08-07 12:25 373.0 HHI 'Wheeler' Wahiawa, HWA 2018-08-08 12:21 376.0 NP Napuka Apt, TUA 2018-08-07 13:06 377.0 ROM Roma, QD, AUS (NEW) 2018-08-07 12:27 377.5 MO Moorae - Temae Apt, OCE 2018-08-08 12:52 380.0 SU Maroochydore/Sunshine Coast Ap, QD, AUS (NEW) 2018-08-07 12:34 382.0 WU Wanganui, NZL 2018-08-08 12:07 383.0 MK Makemo Apt, TUA 2018-08-07 13:05 383.0 HV Hiva Oa - Oa Island Apt, MAR 2018-08-07 13:04 384.0 BB Bora Bora IAP, OCE 2018-08-07 12:45 390.0 HN Hamilton, NZL (NEW) 2018-08-07 13:04 393.0 UKS Kosrae IAP, FSM 2018-08-07 13:06 393.0 FK Fakarava (Iles Gambier), TUA 2018-08-08 13:09 395.0 PMQ Port MacQuarie Apt, NW, AUS 2018-08-08 12:48 398.0 BOU Boulia, QD, AUS (NEW) 2018-08-07 13:05 400.0 MDY Midway - Henderson Field, MDW 2018-08-07 12:52 402.0 OA Ouvea Apt, NCL (NEW) 2018-08-07 13:04 403.0 TUT Pago Pago IAP, SMA 2018-08-07 12:34 1630.0 TM Taumarunui Apt, NZL ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Output Generated By WWSU 6.4 (2013, Alex Wiecek - VE3GOP, http://www.ve3gop.com) 55 stations logged during this Session (16 new) -73- Tom R K7WV _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com 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: irca@hard-core-dx.com
