[Lowfer] XRR & carrier signal

[Michael Sapp]

Tom & Garry: Well, +7dBm EIRP is on the light side. I'm surprised to be 
hearing Bill's signal as consistently as I am.  When he gets up around 
+20dBm I would expect some 800~1000 mile paths to be possible...perhaps a 
quarter wave of wire on or near the ground within 100ft of a railroad right 
of way would help ~:)
