Thanks Jim for quantifying the problem. That does make a compelling
argument as to why Mal hears me with ease in the daytime, and Chris et
al cannot.

Again, thanks for putting some figures on it, and I'm sure this
accounts for the non-reciprocal nature of the propagation.

The only thing will improve matters is for me to radiate higher ERP.
But to redress the balance - but it looks like 10dB or more would be
required. That's going to take some thinking about!

Thanks
