I'm looking forward to downloading e-mail today (at the Local Tavern,
since the Library is closed on Mondays). In general, I hope the NW
DX Reports for this morning are "Pedestrian," because that is darn
sure what Guy and I experienced here. Guy didn't quite get his
Lankford Array set up at the State Park, encountering more heavy
brush than he expected, so he joined me at the Grayland Motel, RM. 15
at 4:30AM to borrow an antenna." We had a great time from then until
after 8:15 PDT (1515 UT) but only have the "regulars" in the log
book.... mind you, that is about 50 or more TP stations, but
still..... On Orcas, I would have considered this a "good-not great" morning.
The two more interesting events were:
1. An accidental logging of KOTZ, Kotzebue, Alaska on 720 at pre-dawn
1400. I was trying to sort out a Chinese and KDWN, Las Vegas and
heard a pop-up "720, NPR" clear as a bell. Unneeded, but still fun.
2. Was checking 1548 for DW Sri Lanka at 1405 when Guy and I both
thought we heard a few words of German....Not enough for a logging,
but I'm going to process the recording and see if I can at least
confirm the language.
So, that is it.... at least we won't have to spend time in the days
ahead logging the regulars.
