We are using one on the PJ2T CW Skimmer Server (located at the VERONA club
station PJ2A in Willemstad, Curacao) and find that it is *not* working well
on 160 and 80. Seems to work great on 40m up, and we had set the jumpers for
the low bands.
It is not installed in a fantastic lowband location (it's a city and
industrial area), and is up only 25-feet or so, but it seems *very*
insensitive on 160 and 80.
Spots from the PJ2T Skimmer Server can be seen on the Reverse Beacon Network
at http://www.reversebeacon.net/dxsd1.php?f=0&c=PJ2T&t=de
