[NLRS] Tropo season is here

[Fast Eddie]

No wonder I have never heard the 222 beacon here in EN58.... The guys in 
Duluth do hear it but not very strong.....

Eddie VE3KRP          p.s.  only tropo worked this morning was W0GHZ on 
144.....

Over the years I have theorized that its the city heat island that disrupts any tropo in that direction for me .... the guys to the west of me and to the north of me do better in your direction.
