[Lowfer] HIFERS IN DM04 LP

[Larry Putman WB3ANQ]

Ed,

All of my calculations show that without the extra gain of that beam you 
would probably not copy me.
Also shows the best time to copy me would be between 14 and 15 UTC. or 
6am to 7 am your time.
Are you ever up that early and could check?
Next best times are between 21 and 0200 UTC but at a lower signal strength.

*Warning Any Calculations I make should be taken with a grain of salt*  :-)
