While I was at BARC,
I set W8LRJ-BARC-MVHS to
173/10 Mesh (was Mesh Station).

NC8Q-SXT-146 at MVHS is
173/10 Mesh (and is not hearing W8LRJ)
This path seems much cleaner than the path to my home.

The MVHS<>NC8Q path is about the same distance and that link is
using a pair of LHG-5HPnD-XL

I have a SXT-5nD and a SXT-5ac that can replace NC8Q-SXT-146.
I also have a LHG-5nD and a LHG-5ac-XL to test with at MVHS.

The LHG-5 is 8.5 dB more than an SXT.
The LHG-5-XL is 2.5 dB more than that.
(16, 24.5, 27 dBi).

I still need a roof-buddy for a MVHS visit.
I think the wind storms of the last 2 months have re-aimed some antennas.
