I'm sure glad you all liked it.  Here on the west coast where the squint was
higher than most of the USA (acording to the keps / ALON & ALAT I have), S-2
was definately stronger.  Towards the end of the S-1 test, I was watching the
beacon and when it went away I dialed up to the S-2 beacon.  S-2 was a good
solid 1 to 2 S-units stronger.  Goes to show you that squint matters.  At the
end of the S-1 test, squint was 19.6 degrees.
