[Lowfer] SAQ in CT

Guess it's all +'s and -'s ... I'm 800 miles closer ... you're closer to the ocean ... but 
unfortunately also closer to the equator (static). Would sure like to hear SAQ as received in VO1 
land!

Still scratching my head over the SAQ transmission 4/14/11 at 9 am local. Signal strength was well 
above anything I'd ever heard from them. Would be nice if they ran more often for longer periods but 
understand not wanting to push their luck with the vintage equipment.
