WIDE2-2 is the recommended path in my area.<br>

Bob,<br>

I'll change my Beacon setting to AUTO and
let you know if you've put your finger on
the problem.<br>

Thanks to you both for your replies.<br>

Bob,<br>
<br>
I changed my Beacon setting to AUTO and here's
what happened:<br>
The D-710 screen showed "my position" twice,
after I had the rig<br>
turned on for a little over two minutes.<br>
I went into my home and I brought up "findu".
It reported "No <br>
position report for W5LON has been heard in the
last 10 days".<br>
<br>
This response was puzzeling as I had not seen
"my position"<br>
shown on the screen of my D-710 prior to
changing changing my <br>
Beacon setting to AUTO.<br>

Randy,<br>
<br>
Thank you for the URLs. I've always used "findu" in the past but
now I'll begin <br>
using the New (to me) URL that you've used to confirm my position.<br>
I'll also reduce the time between transmissions now that my testing
seems<br>
to be complete. (Perhaps I'll begin testing the <span>Smartbeaconing
that Bob<br>
suggested.)<br>
</span>Randy and Bob, you two have really been a great help. Thank
you again.<br>
