Mike, thanks for that URL. I had not seen any of this before so it was a 
neat treat to look it all over. I think I would be like you, any report 
would be exciting. As of right now signals are the strongest I have seen 
for WM and SIW, ever. So tonight might be a great night for some long 
haul DX.

So one more question......I wonder if there would be any interest for 
yet another beacon? I am finishing up a beacon for 10 GHz which is very 
badly needed in the Midwest but I do not know if there is any need or 
desire for another LOWFER beacon someplace near the watering hole.  I 
may be naive but I have plenty of room to put up a small heavily 
top-loaded vertical and would be willing to give it some more serious 
thought.

Thoughts from the community on a new beacon from NE Indiana (EN70) would 
be appreciated.
