[TowerTalk] propagation of the KLM 10-30-7LPA

[Kuhns, Arthur, SSG, 146CF, SCM]

The Air Guard station I am at currently uses this Beam to talk 500 miles to
HQ on 7mhz in morning hours. We use an ant tuner to tune the 20 meter beam
to 40meters.  At a 100 watts out we should be loud at the receiving end
however we are barely above static.  Question: Are we talking above their
heads are is the beam performing badly out side it's freq recommendations.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
