GRAYLAND 2018 DXPEDITION

October 13-14-15 2018

Bruce Portzer (Elad FDM-S2, Perseus)

Chuck Hutton (Perseus, HF_)

Tom Rothlisberger (Perseus)

Antennas: 20 x 160 DKAZ and 2 loops about 18 x 18, all at 270 degs

A FEW NOTES FROM CHUCK

Not a DXpedition of really good conditions, but he who digeth will find a few worms.

Some things I enjoyed hearing:

A handful of South Korean MBC stations on 855, 1107, 1161 and 1386.

Catching the new Fiji station Gold FM on 990. It was on top of the channel for a while.

Best ever reception of Kiribati 1440.

New Zealand’s Star on 900.

Bombo Radio from the Philippines on 1044.

China on 1305 and 1368.

Various Japanese frequencies with a handful of 100 Watt transmitters.

I don’t report the normal stations un less there is something special about a reception. You already know we heard them, and they bloat my list.
