Thanks for starting this string. I put up my first temporary Beverage (6 deg) in November and another in late December (280 deg - to KH6,VK), which involved struggling with an 8ft step ladder, rebar, 8lb sledge, etc in knee deep snow. So imagine my disappointment in hearing almost nothing! So I echo the other reports, but am amazed I can hear no JAs, JD1 and KH2 when they are spotted. At least now I know everything is working as it should, we just need some good propagation. More time in the chair with static in the background, I guess. Let's keep our fingers crossed for the end of the month. Spratley would be a miracle! 73 Jeff, VE3CV
