Hi Les,
You are very welcome. Sometimes I wonder if anyone reads these logs
which are posted. Glad to see your response! I monitor from the local
park so I don't have to shut mine down to listen. My beacon is an old
converted CB radio. The antenna is a 102" SS whip mounted on the
swimming pool steel railing. Surrounded by cactus and desert trees, but
it does get out. I often look at old quonset huts in the outlying towns
and think: Wow, what a ground plane! Used to be a baseball announcer
for the PIttsburgh Pirates who called base hits "Alabaster Plasters"!
Way back when I was a kid in the 50's. I see lots of guys using that
A-99 antenna they buy on Amazon.com.

Chuck,
Thanks for your report of the beacon. I've had two other loggings from
Germany, and the UK. Yours is the first reported domestic reception.
Currently the beacon is at my home, in the testing phase. It's 5 watts
into a end-fed Par Electronics dipole up about 18 feet. Once testing
is complete, I'll move it to my warehouse about 4 miles from here.
That metal roof should make a nice ground plane. Still trying to
decide on what antenna I'll put up there.
Glad to hear that it's working, and thanks again for the report.

With the A index up a bit and noise levels down from yesterday,
conditions were considerably improved. GB3RAL easily copied this
morning, but the Italian beacon was not heard. Two IARU beacons
heard; so things are looking up a bit.
