Hello Mitch,
You now need to rent a new holiday QTH even closer to the North Pole :-)
Congratulations and keep up the good work

Travelled North of London to rural QTH, at 44:20N 81:11W.
Took along trusty R8, HB preamps, HB SCAF filter and a bit
of wire, and Spectrogram.
Within one hour had setup eqpt. and installed 750 foot long wire,
which lay on the pasture, across a creek (actually in the water
at midpoint !)and grounded with a 500 ohm resistor and a one
meter long copper pipe. It was on the ground for the entire length
and directed within a few degrees of your QTH.
Switched on - and instant copy - as seen on the 'gram.
Gram 1 - 3pm22nd shows WA2XTF/12 very well and a trace of
WA2XTF/6,
Gram 2 - 345pm shows both stations after a bit of tuning, and
Gram3 - 23-7AM shows both stations in the early morning .
WA2XTF/12 - readable nearly 24 hours, with the only exception near
sunset until 8-9 in the evening.
WA2XTF/6 not solid during the latter part of the day ( as shown )
but very solid all through the night until early morning.
I am attaching the three jpgs, for your viewing and also an htm file with
the "official" distance and QTH information.
