[W8MWA] WIRES-X Networked Repeater in Westmoreland County, PA

[Cory Sickles]

Dean:

If you're on the edge, try again as we go from a warm day to cold night and vice versa.  I've found some short tropo ducting can work miracles.  You can also get some thermal enhancements from large jet engine contrails at low altitudes, or reflecting off the fuselage, but that's a story for another day...
