I am almost sure it said 257...but I'll review my tape and get you a copy
soon as I get my few days worth of audio organized and labelled. I'' read
the link you sent. Seems interesting!

How long is your BOG on the ice? Here's a study I did several years ago,
measuring daytime signals from both ends of an unterminated BOG.
http://www.dxing.info/community/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=371 As you can see
there's some built in F/B with unterm. BOGs. I believe this is due to the
fact that BOGs are quite lossy and the back end signals travel further
along the wire as they reflect back to the rx. The same effect was
observed in WI when I tested a 470 footer. The same effect happens with
shorter BOGs, but is less since there's less loss.
Re: your logging on Lake County IL TIS on 1620. Currently I think there
are 5 of these on the air. All seem in syncro and use WQBR256 calls. I am
not happy to have the Lake Zurich one on now, at most 2 miles from here
and ruining 1620. The one that really gets out is the one in Lindenhurst
near the WI border. I can get that daytimes 60 miles north at my WI house.
As for logging these at your distance and having no way to know which
one(s) your hearing, just call it WQBR256 syncros and as 1 station. There
are certainly other TISs using the same calls for more than 1 xmtr.

More fun tbis morning pos-sunrise. lapeer MI 1230, then 810 Tomahawk WI,
both new. The latter has been on my most-wanted list, been chasing that
awhile. Both WI stations on 910 are relogs. When MI was huge I was looking
for WGTO Cassoplis MI which is on my hit-list. Nabbed the 1620 HAR from
north of Chicago again, albeit very briefly.
I am wondering if the good cx to the west this trip reflect the temporary
BOG I laid out on the ice facing west. It seems every time I do this, I do
well to the west. Last year it was a beaut session to BC/AB. This year
every
time I have laid a wire on the ice I've done well in that relative
direction. Ironically, I have done less than stellar in the opposite
direction (east) - and given that the antenna is unterminated I am a bit
puzzled (though happy to evade the east, which is generally what my
unterminated wires through the woods have yielded for me, so the change is
welcome). Is it possible my radio (at the east end of the wire) acts as a
partial terminator?
