Hm, took a look at that second one. It's tooled up for 9 MHz but you'll notice that a lot of New England (including the extreme north of Maine - I actually live a fair bit north of Sheldon - hi, Sheldon!) is in the low to no signal contour.
Assuming a reasonable similarity in radiation pattern at 7 MHz I'd say that'd account for the very wishy-washy signal I was seeing (in between feeding the huskies and dodging the Polar bears that are moving southwards)... ---- Mark Phillips <[email protected]> wrote: > Found this whilst digging around their website ... > > http://www.wrmi.net/pb/wp_435c14af/images/img134734c9ec4bf8cbe8.jpg > > On Thu, Mar 5, 2015 at 10:35 AM, Mark Phillips <[email protected]> wrote: > > > IIRC their signal beams about 315 degrees west.
