Hi Gary, You got my interest going, so I went and checked. I QSL'd 846 back in Sept 79. It was 2CY in those days, still 10 KW. So it has been a long time. Heard on my old E.H. Scott RBO-2 with a Q Multiplier and a mismatched wire when I lived 1/2 block from the ocean in Seaside. 73, Patrick Pat

Hi Patrick, 846-2RN was only received during the exceptional morning of August 20th at Lincoln City during last week's ULR DXpedition, and was gone the next two days. 558-Radio Fiji One (//639) and 1017-2KY also came in on that exceptional morning, for all-time new ULR DU's (never received

Hi Nick and Nigel, Chuck recently send Guy and me correspondence indicating that 846-2RN had been heard at Grayland more frequently than the current archives indicate. On the other hand, 603-Radio Waatea (a Maori-language regular on ULR's during both Lincoln City DXpeditions) seems to be a

Thanks Dennis, Once again you did a great job at Grayland, and if John B. were still with us, he would have been very proud of your ULR TP-DXing success. Yes, I remember very well the Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City, only about 3 blocks from my favorite DXing spot on the beach. Never s

Gary, Thanks for renewing my interest in the ultralight hobby. During my next 3 day visit before the IRCA convention, I will run a wire out into the thick brush that is in between the ocean and cabin. Also will give the Kiwa loop a try. Mike's Grayland Motel and Cottages and Ocean Spray Beach
