Words

Guy
Atkins:
Four months ago I had never heard of the Haida
Gwaii Indian nation, nor had I been anywhere within
700 miles of this beautiful place. However, thanks
to Walt Salmaniw and his gracious wife Wanda (a
native Haida, as it turns out), this DXpedition
was the most memorable ever--as much or more so
for the memories of food, friendship, and hospitality
than for the Dxing itself. Meeting top local Haida
artists, touring the new and expansive Haida Gwaii
Cultural Center, and being invited guests of a
Haida "potlatch" ceremony were episodes
not soon forgotten!
John and I joined early arrivers Bruce and Chuck,
who had the misfortune of having to fly into Masset,
rather than enjoy a 2-day, 21+ hour drive and
a 7-hour ferry ride complete with "operational
issues" that delayed our sailing until the
next morning. Walt had warned us sternly about
watching the highways for moose-- boulder-sized
creatures that can easily cut a DXpedition (and
a life) inconveniently short. Fortunately, all
we saw were many dozens of the yellow and black
moose warning signs along the way.
Maps and globes label this chain of 200 islands
as the "Queen Charlotte Islands," but
it really should be Haida Gwaii, as the native
people know it to be. The scenery is beautiful
and starkly remote--you can see the Alaskan panhandle
on the ocean's horizon from Walt and Wanda's Masset
Island, BC summer home. The location is ideal
for extended DXpeditioning, with easy access to
the north-facing Pacific beach. We had room to
run out Beverages, BOGs, terminated loops, and
Wellbrook prototype arrays to our heart's content,
although one antenna required major bushwacking
by Bruce "Machete" Portzer.
Safely at Walt and Wanda's special home on the
beach, we began six straight days of DXing, fueled
liberally by all manner of Haida native specialties.
My plan of dining on Cup-O-Soups and Pop Tarts
was quickly thwarted, as Wanda & company's
ongoing menu included treats such as fresh-caught
& smoked salmon, venison, red snapper, halibut,
huckleberry pie, salal berry jam, and much more!
With no local medium wave pests to speak of, the
band was eerily quiet during the daytime; 930
Ketchikan and 860 Prince Rupert were the only
stations of any significant strength. In fact,
Ketchikan was our test station for adjusting the
nulls on the Wellbrooks, since it is due north
of Walt and Wanda's Masset home.
Eat, sleep, DX... and repeat. That was the pattern
of main activities for our six days in Masset.
The DX we heard was fabulous, as the loggings
will show. Most enjoyable for me was hearing 1548
kHz, Deutsche Welle in Sri Lanka, and the unexpected
TAs from Holland, Algeria, UK, and even São
Tome (!) were just gravy on the DX plate. I logged
a number of new Japanese MW outlets on 10 kHz
frequencies simply due to the lack of local/regionals
from remote Haida Gwaii.
I know that from now on when I DXpedition from
familiar Grayland, WA, I'll think of Masset on
the Charlottes to the far north--where the band
is quieter, the food far better, and the natives
make you feel like a local! Walt and Wanda--thanks
for opening up your hearts and home to us; it
was a special time for all.
John Bryant:
Few of my lasting memories of the DXpedition to
Haida Gwaii are about the equipment we used or the
DX we heard. That is probably because I've wanted
to go to the Islands for almost half a century to
visit the homeland of the fabulously artistic Haida
nation. Like most of us, as a child, I was fascinated
by totem poles and the startling graphic images
that covered them. When I got into college and took
courses in graphics (required for budding architects)
I learned that many of the "tribes" or
"nations" of the upper Northwest made
totem poles and had similar stunning graphics; after
a bit more reading I found out that the Haida nation
had been the most successful at war and diplomacy,
the best seagoing navigators and the best, the purest
of ancient artisans. The Haida homeland was and
is the very large Queen Charlotte Islands which
lay almost 100 km. off the very northern coast of
Canada's British Columbia; they insist on calling
those home islands "Haida Gwaii."
Walt Salmaniw's lovely wife Wanda
is a Haida; they met when Walt served as the base
surgeon at the then highly-secret joint Canada/USA
radio monitoring station right outside Masset, on
the northern coast of the Islands. When they invited
several of us up to their new cottage on that same
north coast of Haida Gwaii, we were all really excited.
I was sure that it would be a double-barreled treat.
First, we'd get a chance to DX on the coast a looooong
way from most of the MW transmitters that bother
us so much in the Victoria/Seattle/Portland areas;
there was the added thrill, too, of DXing within
two or three miles of one of those super-secret
"Wullenweber Array" 1200 foot diameter
listening antennas. If the governments were willing
to put up hundreds of millions of dollars worth
of listening antennas on the north shore of Haida
Gwaii, the DX really oughta be great!
Secondly, with Walt and Wanda
both being local residents, during the DXpedition
we would have a good chance to meet some of the
artists, see their work and possibly understand
a bit more of the unique Haida culture. As it turned
out, we were more than rewarded on both counts:
fabulous DX, almost too much for even five of us
to adequately log and report and Haida hospitality,
food, art and friendship that was equally bountiful.
Its difficult to decide which
of the DX catches were my favorites. Our most newsworthy
catches were probably 1548 DW in Sri Lanka, 1530
VOA Sao Tome and 684-AIR Port Blair in the Andaman
Islands; the former two were heard first by Chuck
and Bruce, the latter by that wretch Walt, not 30
minutes after Guy and I, as the last two guests,
left the cottage on Haida Gwaii. I think that we'll
also likely never forget the trans-Arctic European
openings for three or four evenings in the early
part of the DXpedition. Apparently our trip to Haida
Gwaii coincided with the best TAr opening of this
solar cycle. For me, I heard more and better Europeans
and North Africans in those three or four evenings
than I heard in three DXpeditions to the Outer Banks
of North Carolina with Harold Cones. Lastly, I'll
not soon forget logging such a flood of Japanese
stations. After twenty years of specializing in
Japan, there were only a few that I had not heard
at least once before, but those few are precious.
And to hear so many so well in such a short time.
Priceless!
Finally, Guy Atkins and I chose
to drive up to the Queen Charlottes rather than
fly, as did the rest of the crew. We might have
decided to drive before we realized just how long
a trip we bargained for. British Columbia is VERY
large. Guy and I drove a full twelve hours north
through central BC to Prince George and then eight
hours west to the Pacific coast at Prince Rupert.
From there it was a 7 hour ferry ride and another
hour plus drive to the Salmaniw's cottage on the
north shore of Haida Gwaii. Guy and I would have
had fun doing that road trip no matter the territory
traveled through. However, British Columbia is stunningly
beautiful and, especially on the trip back, the
fall colors were simply gorgeous. Golden birch forests
in the evening sun and high Alpine glaciers in the
mists don't QSL, but they were certainly memorable,
as well.
Chuck Hutton:
Highlights flowed like rain back home in Seattle,
including:
- I was able to hear NHK1 on
990 and 999 and they completed my goal of hearing
each and every frequency on which NHK1 and NHK2
operate. That's a total of 40 frequencies for
NHK1 and 23 for NHK2.
- HBC's main station on 1287
is a regular but it has a handful of lower powered
repeaters. I was able to hear some of them: 864
(3 kw), 900 (5 kw), 1269 (5 + 1 kw), 1368
(1 kw), 1404 (5 kw), 1449 (5 kw), and 1494 (1
kw). No luck with 801 (100 Watts), 1098 (power
not known) and 1557 (100 Watts). Next time....
- 610 CKRW from the frozen Yukon
(Whitehorse) was a target and was heard within
a few minutes of tuning to 610. Almost too easy.
- The 810 LPRT (40 or 100 Watts
- not sure) from Whitehorse was also heard when
I noticed the oddity of French language weather.
- 1566 UK: This was the first
TA I heard after plugging things up! I was making
the first of many checks for India but instead
heard a commercial English station which later
was ID'ed as County Sound Radio by Bruce.
- 1548: It was a thrill to hear
Sri Lanka with a decent signal since it's so far,
far away. It would have been the catch of the
trip had it not been heard once before.
- 1566: There were tantalizing
pieces of something under HLAZ several times.
Later I will have to study the recordings closely.
- 810: A surprise was the AFN
station on 810 which is not widely heard.
- There were Filipinos on many
frequencies. New stations included 1323 Nation
Broadcasting, 1458 Bantay Radio, 1485, 1530, and
more.
Those were the nocturnal highlights.
The daytime highlights were just as good, due to
the magnificent setting of Walts cabin just
off the beach in the forests of Haidi Gwaii (aka
the Queen Charlotte Islands). There was also the
great experience of watching Walt get inducted into
the Haida nation as his wife is a Haida. Add it
all up and this was a great experience, a great
vacation, and a great DXpedition.
Bruce Portzer:
This was by far my longest and most amazing
DXpedition ever. For one thing, we were several
hundred miles north of home, so there was a lot
less interference. It was nice having only three
stations within 100 miles of us. We had open water
to the north of us and land to the south of us,
which helped enhance reception of Trans-Pacific
and Trans-Atlantic stations at the expense of stations
to the south.
The TAs were absolutely
amazing at times. Some, such as Germany-1422 and
France-1377 were often equal to and sometimes stronger
than stations on neighboring domestic channels.
I expected reception patterns to favor the higher
latitude TAs, as is often the case in the Puget
Sound region. Those stations were indeed present,
but overall reception was similar to that reported
by New England DXers, with plenty of signals from
Spain, France, and North Africa. Some of my favorite
logs for the week include County Sound Radio-1566
(750 watts), Capitol Gold in Manchester on 1458
(5kw), Spain-1485, Holland-1395 (aka Big L),
Manx Radio-1368, and VOA Sao Tome on 1530 (mixing
with KFBK).
TP DX was likewise impressive.
Many channels were dominated by the usual powerhouses
we can hear at home or at Grayland. But with reduced
interference from adjacent domestics, it was possible
to hear them more clearly and hear others in the
background. For example, DZEM-954 was noted mixing
with JOKR one morning. The DX became much more impressive
around 1400 UT, after most of the domestics had
faded out. Some of the even channels were occupied
by 3 or 4 TP stations. For example, once KGO faded
out, China, North Korea, Russia, and AFN-Tokyo could
be heard on 810. Similarly, I was able to log China
Radio Internationals SE Asia service on 1080
mixing with the North Korean station and its South
Korean jammer. Other noteworthy logs included KTWG-801,
Changchun-1332, CRI stations on 1269 and 1296, and
a relog of Sri Lanka 1548. I hope to identify a
few more once I go back through the logs.
DU stations were anemic
Tahiti-738 was there weakly a couple of times, as
were a couple of the stronger Aussies.
I didnt spend much time
listening for domestic stations, but I did note
three from east of the Mississippi: WBZ-1030, WTAM-1100,
and WYLL-1160.
This was also my first DXpedition
with a software defined receiver, the RFSpace SDR-IQ.
I made good use of the SDRs ability to record
190 kHz of spectrum, and filled my hard drive with
200 GB of recordings. Ill be spending the
next few weeks listening to them as time permits.
The SDR opened up all sorts of new DX possibilities,
simply by recording large swaths of the band while
I tuned around on the R8A. For example, the SDR
captured a minute or so of readable audio from Manx
Radio during one of those recording sessions; otherwise
1368 had only a routine het. I tuned past the channel
many times in favor of more interesting stuff, and
wouldnt have heard it except for the SDR recording.
Like I said at the beginning,
this was my most exciting DXpedition of all times.
My thanks go out to Walt, his wife Wanda, and her
family for all the wonderful food and good times.
Walt Salmaniw:
This years dxpedition will go down as one
of my most enjoyable (and perhaps exhausting) dxpedition
ever. Arriving during prime DX season, I immediately
began dxing using an existing short 400 N/S
Beverage from UTC September 15th. Upon the arrival
of my first two guests, Bruce Portzer and Chuck
Hutton on the 16th, we immediately proceeded in
erecting a virtual DXers paradise with numerous
antennae including BOGs, a Wellbrook phased array,
a small corner fed loop, as well as the existing
N/S wire. Conditions for the most part were wonderful,
although deteriorating over time. My last morning,
however, appeared to be as good as an Asian opening
as Ive ever heard! John Bryant and Guy Atkins
arrived on the afternoon of the 17th after a minor
ferry delay, and jumped right into the serious dxing!
Although quite cramped, we nonetheless were all
quite comfortable, and enjoyed the sites and cuisine
of Haida Gwaii.
Personally, I was honoured by
the Haida nation by being adopted as a Raven into
my wifes aunts family. I was given the
Haida name of nung cung guduny us meaning
a kind person. It was a moving experience,
and I was delighted to have four close friends from
the dx world witness this event.
Pictures from the DXpedition
are available on the website of Guy Atkins, dial-up
and broadband
pages.
