Musings from the Attendees
Russ Edmunds speaks:
For the 5th annual LBI DXpedition,
planning began earlier than usual, thanks to the
national reduction in store locations by the US
electronics chain Radio Shack in early summer which
went along with a change in their store product
lines. That event resulted in some serious bargains
for many of our group who purchased adaptors, connectors,
coax, wire, rotators, tripods, masting and other
assorted goodies at savings up to 60% off.
As usual, we attempted to select
a weekend based on recurring geomagnetic patterns
starting at 90, and then 60 days out. This year,
there were no obvious quiet spells, as activity
had been erratic in August and early September.
Nonetheless, we set a dates of November 3-4-5, 2006
and the game was on.
Russ Edmunds |
Antennas, cables, splitters (thanks
again to Chuck Hutton for lending us several extra
splitters) and other hardware were deployed efficiently,
and without interruption by the local constabulary,
thanks to Bob Galersteins having secured permission
from the township for us to lay wires on thebeach
beforehand. We also opted to reduce the length of
our northeast (33 degree) BOG by a couple of hundred
feet in order to avoid one of the main vehicle entrances
to the beach. Brett Saylor brought along a GPS device,
with which we were finally able to get a solid measurement
on the exact orientation of our antennas. Our prior
estimated had been 40 and 220 degrees, however these
turned out to be closer to 33/213.
We employed both a Mark Connelly-designed
broadband loop and a Craig Healy-designed copper
pipe loop just outside the main DX room at the motel;
however, even with the DX Engineering preamp, the
signals from the former were lower than last year
and somewhat erratic, which will likely cause some
scrutiny prior to 2007, as that had been an excellent
antenna at LBI-4. The copper pipe loop was unsoldered,
and whether that was the reason or not, its signal
level was below that of the BBL.
Conditions were generally mediocre,
although one short-lived opening to the Middle East
was observed. Thus, we had a larger than usual number
of Cuban Radio Reloj stations and NDBs logged.
As usual, though, good company, good beer, and good
pizza made up for the conditions.
Can we move the 3rd wire on the 2nd layer to
the 2nd spot on the 5th layer? |
Dave Hochfelder speaks:
This was our fifth outing to
the New Jersey shore and we all had a blast seeing
old friends, DX'ing, and catching up. We were all
pleased with conditions last year and the year before,
and all the indicators pointed to exceptional conditions
this year too. I logged five new trans-Atlantic's
(TA's) from home (inland New Jersey) in the two
weeks before LBI and was looking forward to bagging
some great new ones. Unfortunately, conditions were
less than spectacular, despite the geomagnetic indicators.
We heard our share of TAs, but (with a few exceptions)
nothing that we hadn't heard in 2005 and 2004. The
TAs we heard would have been great catches from
home, but conditions were not DXpedition-worthy.
Conditions on Saturday were particularly
strange and changed minute to minute. We had an
early mid-latitude opening, but after a few hours
the TAs petered out, as did the domestic clears
north and west of us, usually a good indicator of
an aurora. So we started chasing DX on our southern
wire and had some great catches, including Radio
Formula, a low-power Mexican on 720 kHz. I camped
out on 1140 kHz listening to a futbol match in Spanish,
at armchair copy at times. While this could have
been XEMR Monterey, I spent about 30 minutes hoping
to pull out some information to ID the station,
team or city names, anything. Before I could do
so, the bottom dropped out of the southern opening
and I lost them to a resurgent WRVA. That's 30 minutes
I'll never get back!
Dave models the LBI clothing line |
Based on our loggings this year
and in the past, it seems like our southern wire
is an excellent performer. I'll spend much more
time chasing DX into Central and South America next
year.
Each year we try to bring something
new to try out, whether it's a loop shootout or
a new antenna to deploy, like Mark Connelly's broadband
loop design. This year I decided to make a copper
pipe loop based on Craig Healy's design. Unfortunately,
due to lack of experience soldering copper pipe
and running out of time, I didn't get it soldered
in time. Still, we tried it out on Saturday by duct-taping
the sections together. I plan to use it inside my
shack with a CB whip as a phase reference. So far
it's given promising results. I will get around
to actually soldering it sometime before next LBI
and might even make another to try phasing them
at right angles to each other.
All in all, LBI-5 was a blast,
even if the DX was less than spectacular.
Glenn, Bob and Dave |
Bob Galerstein speaks:
Anticipation. The buildup to
the first weekend of November began to crescendo,
then reached it's peak as we started to "assume
the DX position" behind our radios just before
the sun started to set Friday afternoon.
Each year, organizing the LBI
DXpedition becomes more complete and efficient.
This in large part due to the Radiodxing.com
website that the "MVP" of the weekend,
Brett Saylor, set up. It became a clearing house
for ideas on how to string the beverages, terminate
them, what to bring and the DX targets we would
attempt. Because of the prep, and also with the
experience of the previous DXpeditions to Long Beach
Island, our Friday "construction" of the
beverages, their termination and the DX positions
went so smoothly that my friend Glenn Small commented
that he was amazed at the quickness of the assembly.
Glenn was a newcomer to the group, a former NRC
member, longtime ham, and a friend of mine since
fourth grade. The set up was inestimably aided by
Brett taking over where Radio Shack left off. "Saylor
Electronics" contained every type of connector
and cable known to humankind. We could not have
done the weekend without Brett's most organized
tool boxes.
Bob Galerstein |
Once everything was tested and
ready for prime time, I grabbed a bottle of my favorite
ale, Saranac Adirondack Lager, and assumed the position
in front of my radio, next to Dave Hochfelder and
Glenn, looked out to the Atlantic Ocean, and tried
to visualize the radio waves about to come in. Last
year, at about 4:30pm, the Mideast boomed in at
armchair levels for a fair amount of time. We hoped
conditions would replicate last year, but it was
not to be. Of the five LBI adventures we've had,
the first two were busts as far as TA conditions
and the next two brought fabulous conditions. This
LBI session was between those - largely basic TA's
and Latin Americans were received, but nothing spectacular.
One exception - we logged a 250 watt Mexican and
I was happy to get a clear ID on XEAVR-720. On the
second night, with TA activity largely dead, we
focused on Latins and deep south domestics off the
south BOG, and were rewarded with S-35 signals from
such stations as WSUN-620 and 940 Macon, Georgia.
It is certainly a strange experience hearing an
Spanish pileup of four South American (and maybe
Cuban) stations on a given frequency.
From the culinary standpoint,
we were very happy that our breakfast restaurant,
The Greenhouse Cafe, diagonally across the street
from the Drifting Sands Motel, also served dinner
to-go. This supplanted the usual Pizza Hut fare,
and saved the ten minute trip back to the mainland
to pick up the pies.
Above all else, the level of
camaraderie that was seeded five years ago continues
to grow. After talking on the Manahawkin two meter
repeater coming during the drive in on Friday, we
didn't have to reintroduce ourselves to each other
- we hit the ground running. This spirit is reflected
in the way we report stations after the weekend
- no individual credit. Using the wireless internet
with starchat.net or good ole fashioned loud talking
to others while wearing headphones, most of us received
what everyone else was picking up. We only wish
we had a couple more cups of Bruce's fine Scotch
to celebrate some new countries.
Bob, Brett and Bruce discuss whether Radio Formula
720 kHz really was 250 watts |
Brett Saylor speaks:
For me, LBI-5 will go into the
books as a middle-of-the-road DXpedition, at least
conditions-wise. While we heard a number of trans-Atlantic
stations both days, none were in as good as the
past two years. A combination of local TV interference
and generally tepid conditions (despite the low
A/K indices) made stations like the normally strong
Virgin 1215 inaudible much of the time. Reception
of TAs was limited to lower-latitude Europeans
and North Africans; beyond that, reception was disappointing.
We did pick up several Mexicans, Colombians and
Venezuelans and the highlight of the weekend for
me was Radio Formula on 720 kHz, a 250 watt Mexican
from Veracruz.
Apart from the lack of stations,
the technical aspects of the weekend went very well.
Antenna deployment went without a hitch in record
time, although we did have problems getting the
signals from our two broadband loops to both listening
rooms consistently - we never did figure out if
it was a cabling or splitter problem. Thanks to
the past summers Radio Shack store closings,
we have finally amassed enough components, wire
and splitters to outfit our small army of DX'ers,
so future DX'peditions should not require much additional
equipment. Real-time chat via IRC #mwdx chat group
provided room-to-room communications (like: "pizza
is here!!!") and also kept us in touch with
other DXers such as Bruce Conti around the world
who could compare catches and help ID unknown stations.
The famous LBI DX-cam was also back this year, although
it did experience some technical glitches. Some
of the webcam pictures can be seen here.
It was good to see last years newcomer Michael
again the first night, and this years first-timer
Glenns eyes were surely opened by the rapid-paced
activity at sundown when the first signals start
skipping in across the pond. Post-LBI eBaying has
netted the group at least five more 6-way splitters,
so combined with the existing inventory we should
have enough antenna connections to support an even
dozen DXers at future LBIs.

from his wife! |
As always, the best part of the
weekend was the fellowship and conversation among
the attendees, and I continue to look forward to
future DX'peditions!
Bill Harms speaks:
Although we did not hear many
TAs as compared to previous years, we did
hear some interesting Latin American stations. At
the risk of sounding like a cliché, the camaraderie
at these events is always worth taking the time
to attend, regardless of what stations we hear.
