Prior to my retirement as a locomotive engineer for the sp/up railroad, I
enjoyed seeing this site from the cab of my engines many many times. And it is
a sight to see on a dark night !!
Thanks for the link, Larry.

BC stations make great QTH's. I"ve been QRV on two occasions from HRVC
(1390 KHz) in Tegucigalpa, Honduras thanks to my brother WB8VMN being chief
engineer at the time. 180' of Rohn 25G and 120 full size radials on a
mountaintop makes a pretty big signal on Top Band.
