Hi BobLooks like USC is about 220 miles directly and LCSC maybe 240 (I'm just trying to estimate the straight line path from a road map on the web). Pretty darned close.
I'm still using the Kiwi at the moment, just testing the stability of this configuration. Your HW receiver is here to swap in the next time I'm down.
The only gotcha in this setup (Kiwi's feeding both QRSSPiG and WSPRdaemon) is that apparently there's a memory leak in the version of Bash I'm using, and I need to restart the system every week or 10 days to free memory. Not a big deal but unfortunate for an otherwise tidy configuration.
I seem to be snagging you on WSPR pretty well these days too :-)
