Does anyone else ever wonder where someone is physically after reading some
type of reception post? Sometimes I read that Bill or Joe has received a
station clearly but when I attempt I get alot of nothing. I am always
wondering where Bill and Joe are located and what that has to do with the
reception and my lack of.


Thanks

But it is much simpler to simply give the City, State, and Country.
