[Lowfer] TAG

[John Andrews]

Dex,

Yeah, there's usually a collision when SJ fires up. It was running 
around .303 last winter, which is why I picked .302 for TAG this year. 
No big deal, in any case. Thanks for the screen shot.

Another interesting observation on SJ and TAG: SJ's signal is not all 
that great here in MA, despite being at around the same distance (130 
miles or so) as TAG. On the other hand, almost all other observers at 
greater distances show SJ handily beating TAG. My guess is that it's a 
high angle (TAG) vs low angle (SJ) thing. TAG's loop has a substantial 
high vertical angle signal which is pretty wasted at long distances. I 
assume that SJ is a more conventional loaded vertical, with better 
radiation at lower angles.
