Rik:

Please, no assumptions!  My transmitter is at my remote radio site, an ex
heavy route analogue microwave radio tower (250 ft high) about 5 miles away
from the village (were I stay for part of the winter) and my home a further
5 miles away on an Island on a large lake.  I thought the Decca might
finally bother me at home but it does not at the bottom end of the band in
any case.

Transmitter is and will continue to run continuously until Feb 1 when it
will go down while I have fun on the FOC Marathon and then it will go back
on again on February 5th.  If there is a change (weather or equipment
related) for any reason I will email everyone on this reflector.
