Hi All.

Dick, W1ZC said not to worry too much about a north beverage due to
"Too much auroral zone absorption."

For those of us in the USA that is probably true.  For those of you in
Central and South America, a north beverage can be very useful.  There are
times when the path from Eastern USA to Caribbean is skewed over the
Atlantic Ocean.  Similarly there are times when Western Europe is skewed
over the Atlantic.  For the serious operator a north beverage can help, if
you are below the Tropic of Cancer (23 deg North Latitude).
