[Lowfer] WH2XIL 185.31 CW & QRSS

[John Andrews]

Warren,

Looking at captures here in Holden, MA, I'd say XIL is about 14 dB 
"hotter" than TAG on 185.302. TAG is at 130mi with 1 watt into a 50'/50' 
loop, and I recall you being at about 45 miles with your 70 watts and 
ground dipole.

I will shut TAG down tomorrow upon my return to Maine. It'll be back in 
some form at the end of October.

John, W1TAG
