Yesterday I braved the very cold weather - and used my portable flag
(WD8DSB_design) antenna to DF.
The best heading to the 7195 source I got was: 160 degrees from True North.
My QTH is SW Colorado Springs. Grid: DM78nt
The weather is on a warming trend - so I will test again within a few days
- to either revise or confirm that heading.
