Bob - just hold thumbs that this god allows coupling to the ionosphere
from horizontally polarised antennas in OH.? There are many locations
where he doesn't allow it on TB!? (At least not very often)? There is
one prominent member of this group that will attest that he doesn't
allow it from GA USA!

A bit pricey, but impressive none the less!!!? :>
