Brian received in unlikely location

Post by BriansBrain » Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:20 pm

:whistle

My Radio Brian has been reportedly received in the Idyll Suites Apartments
in Playa del Cura, which is well past Puerto Rico and Playa de Amadores.

As you can see this is to the rear of my main Maspalomas reception area
and the reason I do not want to go with a directional antenna system :tup

Maybe a reflecting off a moored vessel ?
The dial is Glowing 88-108 , spin the wheel to light those Red LEDs , see signal needle rise.

Yeah I still don't think that would be it because it's a permanent strength signal :smoke

This is a better scale representation :tup

Brian's antenna is at +/- 215m above sea level.
