Thanks again Bob for your time and effort organizing these. Signal hunting continues to be the most fun I've ever had with the hobby.

To the other hunters on the list - where were you???

Randy

 I was there! Tape measure beam, Baofeng HT (no visible signal levels), and a switched 
 60 dB attenuator. I got close, kinda sorta! At the Nazarene Church on 254, I got a reading
  of 160-170 degrees. Went down the road a bit, another reading said 270 degrees 
  (obviously a false reading). At the Moose hall, another 270 degree reading. From the 
  Big Lot parking lot I had a reading of 90 degrees! What?!? So the 2 270 degree readings
  were incorrect.
  Looking to the skies west of Staunton the clouds were getting darker and all my antennas
  and computers were hooked up, so at 7:34 pm I had to pack it in and head home to 
 shut down the station. 

  I have a bow-tie antenna that I have to figure out how to use. Maybe that will help me
  avoid the erroneous readings. Who knows?

  Bob, you crafty fox!  Keep up the good work.
