Today I did some ground-level tests at Fire Station 8, and I documented Manchester.
From Manchester on Colchester Dr. at Yukon Harbor Rd.
-73 dB Haystack-S3/AE7SJ
no Baldi
no
Mirrormont
From Kitsap Fire Station 8 (on the ground, lots of surrounding vegetation) no signals
I expect to do an elevated test at Fire Station 8 on Friday.
I can hardly wait to get my Poynting antenna.
73 from Dan at K7MM

It looks to be about 3 dB under the Poynting, despite being the same size. That explains the difference in your numbers to my models--they're all off by at least 3 dB!
