Topband: Antenna check for V31XX

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

Bill, 

I was not QRV this w/e.dealing with high winds, snow, and life.

Any reports you get will be anecdotal, but...if you go to this link:
http://beta.reversebeacon.net/analysis/

punch in the date you are interested in (I used Jan 31rst) and then punch in
V31XX, then add V31MA
you can see in graphical gory detail how they did at individual skimmers all
around the world, spot by spot.

I'd cut and paste some graphs here, but the reflector won't allow graphics
or attachments.

I selected 4 or 5 different skimmers (one at a time..and only one date at a
time)

Seems they very much held their own with operating at a 12dB or whatever
deficit against you.

Let us know what you think is going on.
