Ryan -- I had the same concerns, until I re-read Alan's letter, which said "XW-1 FM and store-forwared transponder will be turn on again between 1205UTC and 1352UTC on Dec. 18." The recent pass over NA was about 14:20UTC. Rats! Glad to hear you're trying an omni antenna. Was this in a rural or urban area? Did you use a preamp with this? 73, Bruce -- http://ve9qrp.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
