He is about 70 miles east of me in a place called Head of Jeddorerighto the coast.

just a note about low swr on long runs of cable. You can. Be fooled real easy as the reflected power is also attenuated by the line. Losses and that is after the power gets attenuatet on the first trip down the line.. Casein point. I once tested. A 20 watt transmitter on 959.9875 Mhz into a roll of coax cable with no antenna or dummyload attached. The SWR showed 1.2.1as only a small amount of power was getting to the end and then onky a small amoint of that was getting back to the meter which was stillreading 20w forward but almost nothing reflectepardon my spelling. Onmy phone at work and no glasses on.
