It is too early in the day to judge, but with Ap=15, it's not looking like
a rapid improvement.

I'm curious as to what DXpeditions are on tap before winter sets in.

"Who's going where when?"

Of greatest interest to me are ones along the US and Canadian Atlantic

coastline such as:

PEI - I think Bruce Conti, Brent Taylor, and some others are signed up

for that

Newfoundland - ?
NJ coast (Long Beach Island?)

Of course, here in the east, results from those outings are augmented

well by near-DXpedition-grade home-based reporters such as Allen Willie in
NL, Michael Yule in NS, Brent Taylor in PEI, Sylvain Naud in QC, a few of
us in New England, and sporadic contributors from other coastal hotspots
such as the NC Outer Banks and south FL.

Still somewhat relevant to me would be news about DXpeditions in Europe,

Africa, South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.

The West Coast guys must have some activities cooked up (such as

Rockworks, Grayland, and Haida Gwaii).  Every so often trips to Hawaii are
mentioned.  Japanese and Australian DXers are likely to be active sometime
too.

I'm thinking of doing at least one or two sessions from the car at beach

sites within an hour's drive time.  Typically these would be around local
sunset at sites providing more consistent / strong TA and South American
signals than can normally be obtained at the house.  Maybe I would try to
coordinate a mini-DXpedition night with others' activities in PEI or NL as
I've done in some previous years.

Re: [IRCA] Autumn 2016 DXpeditions?

[Bill Whitacre]

Hi Mark and thanks for putting together a list of prospective DXpeditions.

After joining the crowd at LBI in a couple of weeks, I’ll be making the trek to 
Quoddy House in a month or so - Nov. 13-20 - then back to Fleeton, VA, on the 
Chesapeake Bay, for a few days in early December and then Grayland in February, 
2017.

Hoping for quiet geomag conditions and mild weather!

At all locations I’ll be using what has become my ‘stock’ 160’ DKAZ with 
Vactrol termination.  Just completed two more Vactol units yesterday and may 
summon the energy to try an in-line array of closely-spaced DKAZ for some added 
directivity … or take another shot at a broadside array of DKAZ.

Mark, I usually go up to my cottage on Haida Gwaii in the Fall, but this
year I won't be attending until the first week to mid month in January,
2017.  When conditions are good, the DX can be open for 18 or more
hours/day, then.  From 4 - 12 November, a number of us will be in PEI for a
DXpedtion aiming for Europe and Africa.  Cheers!  Walt Salmaniw

using several Gary DeBock modified ULR's --

I may also advance ship a 3' Oak loop that I used in my 2004 Halifax Summer
DX-pedition.

January is not the best time of the year for TP's - I have been there in
October when the DX thunders in from Japan, China, Korea and the Pacific...
but it is not bad.

There was a time that there were a few DXer's living on the Islands -- not
aware of anyone right now.

Hi Mark,

Dave Aichelman and I will be DXing at Cape Lookout, Oregon for three nights
beginning Oct. 30th. I'll be back at Rockworks (north of Cape Lookout) for
another three-nighter on November 18th.

These dates are starting to be late into the season, but it's what I could
fit into my work schedule and state park cabins availability  :^)

73,

LBI will be happening in 2 weeks, however with the majority of attendees
now using SDR's, getting the results to print in any timely manner has
become a major challenge, especially as we anticipate 10 DX'ers.

We've had quite a few DXpeditions recently on the west coast, Mark, but I don't 
know of any major ones planned for the next few months. Chuck and Jim Renfrew 
were at Rockwork in late June, the joint DXpedition with the Japanese was at 
Rockwork in early July, my solo trip to Rockwork was in early August, the 
Japanese had an ocean cliff DXpedition in Chiba prefecture on September 21, and 
Chuck, Bruce and Tom were at Grayland last weekend. I understand Colin plans a 
trip to Hawaii in the next few months, and Walt usually heads to Haida Gwaii 
for an extended trip as well.

[IRCA] Autumn 2016 DXpeditions?

[Mark Connelly via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---
I'm curious as to what DXpeditions are on tap before winter sets in.

"Who's going where when?"

Of greatest interest to me are ones along the US and Canadian Atlantic 
coastline such as:
PEI - I think Bruce Conti, Brent Taylor, and some others are signed up for that
Newfoundland - ?
NJ coast (Long Beach Island?)

Of course, here in the east, results from those outings are augmented well by 
near-DXpedition-grade home-based reporters such as Allen Willie in NL, Michael 
Yule in NS, Brent Taylor in PEI, Sylvain Naud in QC, a few of us in New 
England, and sporadic contributors from other coastal hotspots such as the NC 
Outer Banks and south FL. 

Still somewhat relevant to me would be news about DXpeditions in Europe, 
Africa, South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.

The West Coast guys must have some activities cooked up (such as Rockworks, 
Grayland, and Haida Gwaii).  Every so often trips to Hawaii are mentioned.  
Japanese and Australian DXers are likely to be active sometime too.

I'm thinking of doing at least one or two sessions from the car at beach sites 
within an hour's drive time.  Typically these would be around local sunset at 
sites providing more consistent / strong TA and South American signals than can 
normally be obtained at the house.  Maybe I would try to coordinate a 
mini-DXpedition night with others' activities in PEI or NL as I've done in some 
previous years.
