GRAYLAND DXPEDITION
15 and 16 October 2016
Chuck Hutton (Perseus) and Bruce Portzer (Elad FDM S2), 160’ DKAZ
Chuck Hutton notes: Not much from NZ, China or the Koreas. Stuff that was good:
Australia (kind of), Japan, Micronesia, Guam, Philippines and Tuvalu with the
Philippines being at the relative best spot. I don’t think I’ve previously
heard this many Philippinos on one night. No big guns reported by me, so a
number of stations don’t appear.
Tom Rothlisberger was with us but hasn’t processed his logs yet. They’ll be on
his web site a little later.
