[Lowfer] looking for information on EXP1750A

[Andy Lokken]

Thanks Peter,

For antennas, the situation isn't great, but I generally seem to do
okay with my signal on other freqs.

This is an aerial shot of my yard: http://tinyurl.com/ya45pyz

It's the one with the red pickup in the back driveway.  I have a space
about 40' x 30' to put a vertical in (hung from the tree in the back
yard) or something like a loop suspended high from the trees and
house. The lot is only 40' wide.

73,

Andy

Also up your way was Lyle who put out great signals with which one could test rx setups. Several times I heard his sig audibly. Hope to see Roger, up north, return to his good showings too.
