[Lowfer] Testing tonight

Fri, 16 Jan 2004 14:12:25 -0500

Lyle,

I see that my report back to Mike was at 0118 CST so my attempt to measure 
his signal could have been exactly at 0110 when you saw the big dip. Looks 
like this 'effect' works for both north and south.

Have you been following Larrys' experiments that show the directional 
pattern of the recieving antenna (@350mi) determines to a large degree which 
WA loop he sees?

Bill
