[HCDX]: DXing parallel to Grayland DXpedition

[WA1ION@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I understand that a major DXpedition is underway at
Grayland, WA on the US West Coast.  Refer to
" http://surf.to/grayland99 ".

This weekend I did some DX as a sort of "parallel
effort".  I also expect to DX on Wednesday night
(UTC Thursday morning: 1 JUL) from Rockport, MA.

Here's what I've logged so far on the parallel
effort during this time of year with the shortest
nights.  Dates and times are UTC.

Bruce Conti is supposed to be travelling in Florida,
Ben Dangerfield might still be in the Mediterranean,
and perhaps Jean Burnell will offer his insights
from his excellent home base in NF.  The more perspectives
we get, the better.

Some visiting my Web site have experienced some delays
or errors possibly resulting from the merger of Netcom
and Mindspring.  If these problems persist, I'll move
everything over to AOL.

Some tests of a full-size K9AY loop have been very
encouraging.

More later.

73 / good DX ... Mark
