Hi John. Very happy to be able to get you some reports to let you know your beacon is working AOK. I was wondering if it was just decent prop several nights ago or not so I monitored again last night. It seems it was not a fluke.

Here is a plot from last night. I will note that I am using a different antenna than what I usually use for the last several years. This season I find for LW & MW I am seeing several dB better S/N using a small 2m active loop which I have pointing E-W so you are well within the main lobe. Too bad we weren't further away do we could see how far your beacon can reach out. 73 Gedas W8BYA
