Eric,

Don't be discouraged if I don't see you when you get your beacon
on the air! I am only able to use my North/South loop at the moment.
Lyle LEK has an exceptional signal!

Also it takes a lot of time and effort to build an antenna with optimum
radiation at these frequencies!

Good Luck!

Larry
