Re: [IRCA] 585-2WEB Confirms S9 Reception

Thanks Patrick, 

We hope you can get back into Pacific DXing, now that your antennas are being repaired. 

Actually the first time I heard 585-2WEB was on the beach at Seaside in July of 2010, using a 3' portable box loop and PL-380. That signal was pretty strong for the basic equipment (once in a while you get lucky). Program Director David Sharp send me an unsolicited e-QSL after listening to my MP3 on the Ultralight list, and matching the song in his log.

Great going Gary. 2WEB used to be common, but that was years ago. They had a nice card in the 80s. I've got the Eastern Beverage and the NW EWE now working after the storms last Summer. This Fall I am getting the SW EWE back up. The noise level of late has dropped off, so maybe I can finally get back to Pacific DXing. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

David Sharp, programming director of 585-2WEB in Bourke, Australia ("Outback Radio") has confirmed the blowtorch reception of the station yesterday morning at the Rockwork 4 cliff, calling it "the strongest level I've ever heard for TP reception."

David is an ex-U.S. DXer and member of our Ultralight Radio Yahoo group. My first contact with him was in 2010, when I was complaining on the Ultralight list about "the dumb Australian station on 585 that plays rock music but never ID's." He listened to a song in my MP3 and sent me a QSL out of the blue, after checking the station's music log. I promptly "took back" what I had said about the station :-) 

Gary DeBock (in Nehalem, OR, USA) 

<<< I checked our music log. Definitely 2WEB at the strongest level I've ever heard for TP reception. 

Gary- you already have two QSL letters and this is your fourth reception of the station (also a record for a single DXer), let me know if you want another QSL. 

2WEB gets almost no reports these days! 

73s
