Reverse beacon shows Im 20-24 db but out west of course because Im located in Colorado. All of my contacts have been WA, OR, TX, CA and of the contacts that I have worked it amounts to only 5 stations. The boat anchors are getting a good workout and everything is working great. I guess Im assured of that.
