Andy is doing great.

I'm the one getting solid QRSS copy on his beacon at 95 miles. I had  
earlier posted we were 150 miles apart, but the web page I was using  
to calculate that distance was inaccurate, and Andy has shown me a  
better method for straightline distance calculations. Anyway, still  
good work on his part. It's great to be able to help him out with  
signal reports. His signal is actually clearer on the ARGO screen  
during the daylight hours, almost certainly because of poor nighttime  
signal to noise ratio due to increased nighttime static levels (still  
around S9 at my location). Daytime static is S2 or S3. I'm hoping to  
be able to audibly copy his signal soon.
