Logs from Newfoundland, Aug. 2 - 9

[newfoundland dxer]

Hi everyone:

From Tuesday to Friday I was suffering from loud electrical noise, so I was catching mostly only high powered stations (the exception was Wizard on Thursday, who was amazingly clear). On Saturday, the noise was gone, but conditions were absolutely horrible. (It was one of those weeks when I had to depend on Iann's chat for many IDs.) Thankfully, conditions were back normal on Sunday.

Thanks for the shows. It was a pleasure listening, as always.
