Default Grayland DXpedition Loggings - April 9-10, & Antenna Report

Hi Mark,

Some years ago I did check out Ledbetter Point when I was roaming around
there with a DXer friend. The problems we noticed with the location we

-lack of beach-access roads once you get north of the populated tourist
areas (the Willapa Wildlife Refuge to the north of Ledbetter Point State
Park is even less accessible)
-serious-looking signs at the state park entrance regarding the
sunrise-to-sunset operating hours

Without being able to scope out the beach in this area, we had no way of
knowing if it would involve carrying our deep-cycle batteries and DXing gear
a distance, or if a car or 4x4 could get to a suitable feedpoint location
for the Beverage antennas.

What about Ledbetter Point, the north end of the Long Beach Peninsula?
I haven't been there since I was a kid, but what I remember was a whole
lot of nothing. Looking at the map, it might be a bit of a slog through
the sand dunes, as the road is on the (East) bay side of the peninsula .
