 I didn't realize you were having problems with SJ  in the watering hole. I
guess because he is close. You were more than generous with captures this
year. It was also real nice to have my signal up on your live grabber while
I was doing occasional testing. I would hate to lose that .What I think I
will do is if I get a rock that will put me in the watering hole ,I will
make the exciter switchable. I will leave the beacon on my usual frequency
and once in a while if I hear that a few guys will be monitoring the "hole"
I will retune and go down there.

Thanks Again

  Rick

Lot's of good copy this year - thanks for the signal! Sorry to hear you'll
be moving to the watering hole. While I understand the logic and support the
move, for me it's one more 'in range' Lowfer that'll be burried under SJ's
'sidebands'. Your signal is normally strong enough that it might stand a
chance of making it through ... CV, WMS, SIW and MBD are pretty much out of
the question.
