[HCDX]: groundwave bandscan (NF)
I had an excellent time during my brief stay at this year's
Cappahayden, Newfoundland DXpedition. I got to DX with two
of the most talented people in the hobby, Jean Burnell and Neil
Kazaross.
I heard 53 countries in 3 nights of listening. Jean and Neil
logged a good number of additional countries. The remainder
of the DXpedition (to feature additional participants Werner
Funkenhauser, Al Merriman, and John Fisher) should allow the
countries-heard total to pass the 100 mark.
During the midday of Saturday (3 OCT), Neil and I drove down to
a scenic seaside cliff area in Portugal Cove South, between
Trepassey and Cape Race. The purpose of this trip was to
obtain an accurate daytime groundwave bandscan from one
of the most easterly sites in North America. The bandscan
is included in this message.
In a few weeks, Jean Burnell will have the final report with
complete international DX loggings and the "musings of the
participants.

Besides the stations shown, Azores-693 groundwave can be received
all day at nearby Cappahayden. At that site, several other Trans-
Atlantic carriers are also commonly observable at local noon (likely
groundwave / skywave mixes).
