suggestion: post in this format...
<Placemark><name>F-CYBR1</name><description>Brandon, MB</description><Point><coordinates>-99.952637,49.842632,0</coordinates></Point></Placemark>
that is longitude, latitude - round it, don't make it to exact unless you want visitors to arrive at your doorstep
Then these lines need to be inserted into a file in the following format and saved as CANADA.KML file to be used with google earth
Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"> <Document> line line line </Document> </kml>

Thanks for stopping in Jerry and peterhr, nice to meet you. Peter, your idea sounds like a good one, but at the moment or for starters I personally would just like some idea of where and who feeders (even on a first name basis only) are located. What Jerry
gave is just fine for the moment. Maybe in the future or anyone that may be interested in going the route you suggest that would be great. Again, thanks to both of you for stopping by. Cheers/Bill

RG6 loses 6db / 100ft
LMR400 loses about 4.1db over the same distance
Also be aware tight kinks and curves in the cable, and joints all cause signal loss.

Yes the Coax I use and recommend is LMR-400. It has only a 1/4 the loss of Rg58 or H155 the provided cable with the FR24 kits.

Thanks peterhr and 1090, I will take a look at the LMR400 in the summer months. The temperature here at the moment is -36C and a wind chill of -50C so not good antenna working time! I would think someone that lived in a high rise would have an advantage
as they are already at a good height! Nice to hear from airnrail also. Cheers.
