Bill and all,

 A bit more info.  Dish was on horizon, lost signal when elevated.  I had
the dish pointed approx 40 to 43 degrees, but hard to tell since there is
some slop in the tower and with the wind, as soon as I heard you, I did not
bother to peak - did not want to take a chance in loosing the heading I
already had.

Thought about peaking afterwards, but never heard you after that.  I assumed
you may have moved your heading to peak someone else and I was pretty
nervous about having stuff fired up at the time.

I will bring a QSL to Aurora for you.  Thanks for the new grid.

PS - I have some really good gif files of the radar at that time, quite a
line of storms all the way between me and roughly Duluth.  There was one
cell still a bit west of that line about midpoint, I wonder if that was the
main one, but if you were peaking a bit east of direct, it may have not been
the contributing cell.  Perhaps is was over a large portion of the storm.

Next time, will have to ask you to move to EN36 right quick!

73 and thanks for being on!

Mike - KM0T
