Yes, I know that a number of people are not really enthused at the effort -
at least in terms of expected results.  Perhaps it is a futile gesture, but
I won't know for sure until I try.  Every year brings a number of
improvements in the setup, and the chance of success.  The incentive for
this was the reception of India across the pole by greyline.  I think Foxy
remembered more about that than I did.  Maybe Gordon Nelson?

As someone once said, 90% of success is simply showing up.  If that signal
is there, and I'm there to hear it, it's not just another fallen tree in an
unpopulated forest.

But yes, I will run a couple sessions in the 4-5am hour the next few days.
I need to set up one of the new loops to knock down the WSB signal and these
loops seem much better at low angle stuff.  I'll drag one along to Ray's GTG
in November for people to try.
