Re: New To Group

Hi Gordon,
Welcome to the group (and it's especially nice to welcome another Puget
Sound ULR DXer). We have a close group of Ultralight radio fanatics here in
western Washington (the birthplace of the ULR boom in late 2007), and we are
always eager to add more converts!
Your barefoot PL-380 should be able to receive quite a few TP's when
conditions improve, especially in the fall season. During the
spring, conditions may allow you to hear some of the "big guns" around
sunrise, if you have the chance to DX during that period. The PL-380 certainly
is the Ultralight radio of choice for transoceanic DXers, and should prove very
successful in DXing this year.
Kevin Schanilec of Bainbridge Island lives fairly close to you, and has
submitted various antenna articles to our Ultralightdx file section. Quite a few
enthusiasts like Keith Beesley live in Seattle, while Guy Atkins and I
live in Puyallup (a fairly good location for nulling out west coast QRM, when
chasing TP's :-)
Feel free to check out the numerous articles in our Ultralightdx file
section, many of which were written by our local Puget Sound DXers
(a review of the PL-380 is posted at http://www.mediafire.com/?w4yuzhj2kyz)
Good luck in ULR DXing!
73, Gary DeBock, N7EKX (in Puyallup, WA)
