[Lowfer] Wm Beacon Status

[Michael Sapp]

Mike (N8OOU): Very good Mike. Looks like 422 miles and 255 degreee heading 
from EM68es to EN90xn which is only 25 degrees off my SW EWE direction.

Given the broad front lobe I should have good RX that direction, even in 
daylight.  Post whenever you have WM running or we wont know to listen for

the tree falling in the forest, so to speak..... 73 Mike wa3tts

ps: Nice Clegg Venus on your QRZ page. I had one of those once. Kinda miss 
that radio...
