I have solved the mystery of Watson's poor radio reception.

Many of you have heard me complain about this situation before. And it always seemed so illogical. However, having done a critical examination, its not so strange that radio reception would die so quickly.

I turned my GPS to the, GPS Info page, as I came from Humboldt, to Watson, on the last leg of the trip. I turned it on between Muenster and Saint Gregor. As I came to the west 'Saint Gregor - 1' sign, my GPS said I was at an altitude of 588 meters above sea level. From this point until Watson, is 22 kilometers, if memory serves.

It went down mostly, and up very little. As I passed through Englefeld I was still about 560 meters. From there, in to Watson, the elevation dropped until I was at 548 as I parked my truck in the front of the office. 40 meters of elevation lost in 20-ish kilometers. It is no wonder I can't get anything buy CJVR.

Toodles!
