[BC] The Future / Signal

[Dana Puopolo]

All I know is that I once ad a 950 link that ran over the LA basin. With Hpol,
on a hot summer day you could watch the signal vary from over 2 mv/m to ZERO
(IE: station off the air!). It would stay at 2 mv all night.

Went to vertical and the problem DISAPPEARED!!
