Greetings from Bristol's Hope, Newfoundland

Allen Willie
Hello To All,
We have finally moved to our new location at Bristol's Hope, Newfoundland which is located about 70 miles by highway Northwest from St. John's. The home features a wrap around deck which overlooks the ocean , as well a large shed up the hill from the house. The isolated location has already proven to be an excellent DX spot, as the first few evenings here have provided the following station loggings with both nights yielding a multitude of Trans-Atlantic signals. At least 8 new stations were logged in the first two evenings of Dxing amongst all the ongoing unpacking. 549-ALGERIA-Alger Chaine 1 Hamadouche 00:56UT/3 Arabic music & song 558-SPAIN-R.

From: Allen
We have finally moved to our new location at Bristol's Hope, Newfoundland which is located about 70 miles by highway Northwest from St. John's. The home features a wrap around deck which overlooks the ocean , as well a large shed up the hill from the house. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Methinks research into asymetric-transatlantic-undersea-cable-bouncing is called for... Also : why it doesnt work so well bouncing to the Old World. Okay, maybe Im jealous of that long list. I overlook the Atlantic and am not getting very much from the New World now. Maybe because : not enough real estate for a beverage, not enough cents for a proper FSL ... Congratulations, Allen and Dianne! Michael UK |

Allen and Diane............
Congratulations on getting set up in your new Location!!! Wrap around Deck overlooking the Ocean sounds pretty good to me!!! Another amazing bag of DX logged by you once again too!!! I'd pay money just to have the Low Noise Levels let alone the amazing conditions!!! Hope you both enjoy the New Place and we look forward to reading about all the neat stuff you're gonna hear!!! If you ever get yourself a Longwave Capable ULR you should be able to log every station in Europe!!!! I've heard 4 of them on my Debock Frankensteiner PL-380.....I shudder to think what you would hear!! Have Fun.......... 73...ROB VA3SW Robert S. Ross London, Ontario CANADA

Allen:
Thanks for the update on your move and the log. It definitely sounds like a spot I would like to DX from. But don't fear, it far enough away that I probably won't be trespassing anytime soon. Best wishes to you and Diane, enjoy your new home. Richard. Richard Allen 36°22'51"N / 97°26'35"W (near Perry OK USA) |
