I would be using the Spot Analysis Tool on RBM site. Pretty strong in Italy for LP Missouri station although I just spent five minutes on an iPhone looking at it. Needs more evaluation. Stan, K5GO Se
Randy, What problems do you anticipate? Havent seen any signs of problems yet. Did see several interviews (N6MJ and W9KKN) that were positive regarding ability to not have to stay on 160 for an inord
