[Lowfer] WA report

Mon, 10 Feb 2003 12:07:27 -0500

Bill,

I have been monitoring and capturing for Mitch for the past few days.
Mitch has a reliable and fairly constant signal here now so I will switch
back
to 185.300 and capturing WA again now.

I realize you are cycling two test loops, one bigger then the other. How
should
your current arrangement differ from the single loop that you were using
prior to
this test? What is the directional orientation?

Conditions here today are poor with snow on the ground and more falling.
Temps in the low 30's now.

73

Larry
