Thanks Rein, I was afraid that the 40-400km range might not be so good
on 10.148. I suppose you might need near vertical incidence in that
range. I'll have to see what I can setup for an antenna for 80 meters
for the spring. I would like to provide better coverage in the
Chesapeake Bay from my QTH.
