[Lowfer] Morning MP in EN90xn

[Michael Sapp]

Mitch: We had a bit of a thaw here and I finally had a weekend that was not 
tied up with committments, so the antenna went up. I've been wanting to do 
it
since October... both MP and EAR not much difference in signal levels 
between NE and NW antenna directions, perhaps some NVIS D layer effect a few 
hundred miles out as the antenna pattern quickly gets circular at high 
elevation angles....background noise was a bit higher today as I recall MP 
being -37 range for the daylight capture over the last weekend...

Now I have to figure out a switching arrangement for the two EWEs....
