Hi all: I had about an hour, well before LSR, to get in some final DXing in Kenai before heading out. While it was warmer and drier, the DX was definitely not as good as the first two days. VOA on 1575 was almost listenable on the barefoot Eton e100, and HLAZ-1566 was blaring in as usual, but going any lower showed that only the powerhouse Japanese on 828, 774, 693, 594 etc. were in. Also, it was still early enough in the morning that the domestic stations from the lower 48 were still making the band rather crowded.
As Gary said in an earlier post, the better the DX, the longer one will stay at the receiver despite the weather. It was perhaps coincidental that I had to catch a plane this morning, as I would not have persevered much longer anyway. In all, my first true TP DXpedition was a fabulous introduction to what greets those who follow the well-worn path to Grayland and other sites, especially my first couple mornings when Asiatics were on every channel. I may be asking my boss if there are any more trips to be made to Alaska... 73 - Kevin S Bainbridge Island, WA _______________________________________________ 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
