I can only wonder if the noise would have been lower had I been in the new, expanded section of Grayland, where campers are a bit further apart, and a few sites allow for a few hundred feet of wire strung through the brush. 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 .

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.
