Pat,

The S9+55DB signal on the NW ewe was after I adjusted the
pot to cut down KXMG signal which is Southeast of my 
location.  

Tonight KXMG signal on the omni directional H-800 skymatch
active whip antenna 18' up in a tree is S-9+50db.

Will be nice when their CP is completed and the power is 10 watts
at night.
