Hi Gordon,
Great to have you with us, and of course we can always welcome
another ULR enthusiast here in salt-water-enhanced western
Washington!
About a week ago we had a get-together at the Puyallup fairgrounds after an
electronics flea market (Chuck Hutton, Guy Atkins and myself), and had a
great time talking about DX afterwards at the Old Country Buffet on South Hill.
Chuck and Guy are primarily Perseus-SDR enthusiasts, but both of them also do
pack along ULR's during their frequent DXpeditions to ocean beaches. My own
interest is in ULR transoceanic DXing using homebrew PVC box loops, including
some monster models up to the 9' side size (several MP's from which are posted
in our Ultralightdx sound file section).
It sounds great to have another local get-together, but since almost all of
us are busy during weekdays (and with children), sometimes it's a challenge to
match up free time.
We certainly don't need much of an excuse to schedule another luncheon at
the Old Country Buffet, Gordon, so if you (or any other DXers) are able to
make it down to Puyallup, please let us know in advance, and we'll invite
you to a great lunch. If you have some spare time this spring or summer, you
might also consider an ocean beach run to chase DU's (Australia/ NZ
stations) at a Pacific beach location like Grayland, during which the
local Puget Sound gang occasionally mixes with our Victoria, BC DXing brothers.
Your chances of hearing nice transoceanic DX go up dramatically if you can get
away from the Puget Sound QRM :-)
73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA)
