Having returned from Vacationland, a few thoughts:
[Lowfer]: I ran TAG in Jason mode from my home QTH for an entire week. In
Maine, at 130 miles away, the signal was 100% copy during the day when I
used the KK7A decoder and the new "Jimi Hendrix" mode available in Jason
V.0.95. The "Hendrix" limiter makes it much less sensitive to static
crashes. Nighttime performance was not great, as there is a lot of fading
with the transmit loop at that distance.
TAG is currently off the air.
[Hifer]: NC, MP and PBJ were heard/seen on a daily basis. GA appears to be
going over my head, as we are too close. No other Hifer signals were
spotted. Conditions were not great toward the end of the week.
RY is on the air, on 13555.40 kHz as of 18 August.
