Hi Bruce, Sorry about your electrical noise issue on the lower band.
<<< Hopefully, Gary had better success in the cold and rain of the Oregon coast. >>> Actually it's pretty warm and sunny here in Grants Pass, OR (a real clunker of an inland DX location, with hills on all 4 sides). But Chuck and Guy were supposed to hit the Rockwork 4 cliff this morning, at the start of their DXpedition. Hopefully they had some decent DU-DXing results. My own cliff adventures are planned from Wednesday to Friday this week. Hopefully the weather will cooperate, and not make us all think of Room 15 at the Grayland Motel. 73, Gary -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Portzer <bport...@comcast.net> To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America <irca@hard-core-dx.com> Sent: Sun, Apr 6, 2014 8:37 am Subject: [IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on April 6 It was a rather dreary session today. The highlight was hearing a new type of nasty-sounding electrical noise that wiped out most of the meager DX at the low end of the band. The high band wasn't affected as much, but the noise was still noticeable. I suspect conditions would have still been lousy without the noise. Somehow, JOIB made it through with an impressive signal for a couple of minutes. Otherwise, there were very few TPs today. Hopefully, Gary had better success in the cold and rain of the Oregon coast.
