Re: [IRCA] Grayland 10 DXpedition
Nicely done Bill...and good data. Chuck Hutton would approve* !
* Just got a 'Hutton review' of the D-Kaz piece I published...with 22
exacting comments/corrections/questions. He's quite meticulous...and my
next report will be the better for his comments.
Regards,
Mark Durenberger

Thanks Mark. 64 NZ stations on one wav file is a record for me and will
likely remain so for a long time I suspect!
I've only just begun to go thru domestic stuff. I'm going to do July 22nd
all-the-way-through as that's the only day I have from both locations. Good
for comparison.
You might be interested in this page too:
http://realmonitor.com/grayland10/antena_cron.html
which is a couple of tables showing front-to-back on both the Grayland and
Sans Souci DKAZ for selected stations. Both were erected exactly the same
but Sans Souci could only muster about 1/2 as deep a nulls as Grayland. I
don't know why. Could've been mixed wire gauges. Could've been tall grass
under Sans Souci. Could've been as much as 15 degree forward 'tilt' on Sans
Souci being on a slant.
I did not use remote Rt this time but used the old-fashioned trial and error
method of fixed Rt.

Between July 20 - 25 I was fortunate to DX from Grayland, WA and Sans
Souci -
between Yachats and Florence, OR - using 160' DKAZ antennas with fixed Rt
pointing
around 250 degrees.
Results can be found on this web page:
<http://realmonitor.com/am_logs_grayland10.php>
The highlight was an amazing opening to New Zealand on July 25th --
similar to
one Gary DeBock and Chuck Hutton experienced a week earlier at Rockworks
4.
