The beacon of IK2DED was clearly seen with a little loop antenna 2 meters over the ground inside the yard. Many visitors don't beleved that it's possible to see some signals also with poor antenna. The major difficulty, they said, is that in Italy is very difficult to see sone signals. Local signals can help a lot the newcomers. TNX Giulio for your beacon, i hope that some visitor in near future become a new member of LF group. 73 de Claudio, IK2PII ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Claudio Pozzi http://www.qsl.net/ik2pii happy Linux user E-Mail: Claudio Pozzi Date: 05-Oct-02 Time: 17:23:14 This message was sent by XFMail ----------------------------------------------------------------------
