Topband: K7RAT/B status

[Tree]

All - 

Many thanks for the reports received on the beacon project.  I am currently 
getting things setup for the WPX CW contest and the beacon might not be on 
the air in the evening time.

In fact - I am thinking of stopping the project for now and perhaps bring it 
back some in the late fall to see if we can get some data from Europe.

I don't think my conclusions are much different than my preliminary ones, 
where there seems to be a slight advantage to the higher frequency under
most cases - with a more significant difference if one (or both) sides of
path are in daylight.

Most people hear the higher frequency longer after their sunrise.
