Whoever did it had access to an antenna range at his place of
employment. I thought you were the only one in here that had that
capability. As I recall the tests were done with a Kenwood talkie
(did/do you have one?). The worst duck was 7 db down and the best (which
happened to be the duck that came with the talkie) was the best.
Maybe it is in your *paper* (non-elontronic) files?
