Bart,

You know about the antenna in my photo--this is good. I was wondering if it was a decent antenna. I got it for $25 on eBay.

I ordered a Poynting antenna.

I appreciate your help.

Glad to hear about your various successful tests today. But why are you using *that* antenna? It's a terrible antenna. You'd get better numbers with the Poynting.

I had good success thanks to Tom at KD7LXL. Thanks for your help, Tom on 147.30 WB7DOB/R!

From East Bremerton (looking into downtown Seattle):

    -88 dB Haystack-S3/AE7SJ

    -79 dB N7FSP/Baldi-S3
    -81 dB N7FSP/Baldi-S1

    -81? db Mirrormont (didn't capture the data, but good signal)

From West Bremerton on the ground at Kitsap County EOC (looking into trees):

    -79 dB Haystack-S3/AE7SJ

I need to get above the vegetation.

From West Bremerton on Lansing St. N (other side of the trees--looking at Bainbridge and Port Orchard):

    -77 dB Haystack-S3/AE7SJ

    -82 dB N7FSP/Baldi-S3
    -85 dB N7FSP/Baldi-S1

    no Mirrormont

We will have good signals to Baldi and Haystack.

From Silverdale (red spot on coverage prediction at Ridgetop Rd.)

    no signals (lots of vegetation to the east and south)

I need to get above the vegetation.

No Capitol Park.

I will do Port Orchard Fire Station 8 (Kitsap County Alternate EOC, KD7WDJ) tomorrow. I will revisit Manchester and list the stations I received.
