Friday morning on Oahu:

The K7RAT beacon frequency-A/frequency-B horse race was a photo finish this 
morning.  Signal strengths were dead even most of the time. The only time 
one frequency had a slight advantage over the other was during a QSB cycle.
The advantage would shift between the two frequencies at an even rate.

I listened from 2 1/2 hours before Western Oregon sunrise until about a 
half hour after sunrise.  Evidently the effort to balance antenna performance 
has done just that.
