After reading this, am certainly happy that all seven ofmy
Gladiator verticals have nice views of the Pacific to the East,
South, and West! Unfortunately, the entire island of Kauai
lies to my North, which is where most of the DX world lives
as seen in polar projection from here. Just hope verticals
like the looong path, hi!
See you in Dayton next week.
