Hi Jeffrey, still Q5, 519.  So far there has not been a time that I have listened for it that I have not heard it.  Do you have one of those "calculators" to determine distances between grids?  If so, could you figure out the distance between your beacon and me?  I am in EN53ba.

Also wondering what sort of horizon the antenna has?  25 feet is not very high, so guessing the ground must be flat as a pancake out there?

Did Dick direct you up the back way to his house the first time?  Cross the Skunk river and go up that twisty, winding dirt road?
