Hi Mal

I find the Alphas vary in strength throughout the day.  Are you saying 
that at your location they're fairly stable and do not have diurnal 
variation ?

I guess this may be due to the distances involved if you see fairly 
stable signals...

Would be curious to know if you have made a long term observation...
