On a clear day, you could see neary 100 miles in several directions. His antenna was a rotatable beam on a 25 foot tower. As the realtors say, "Location rules." My own situation is less good. I'm at the bottom of a several hundred foot mountain, facing east. This was great when the BBC transmitter I wanted to hear was in the Caribbean, and the rest were in Europe. Nowadays, I'm trying to hear Thailand and Singapore, and I'm on the wrong side of the hill.
