checks were often only made when 50-MHz got
"slow" - thus likely much WY and Dakotas!)

RELOCATED to Austin, TX
=============================================================
* not computed for these coordinates as the decades-old xmtr
coordinates may not be the same as the current ones and this
location is only c. 1.5 miles s.e. of my current (since June
1972) location, so those later values have been attached here
The "XEWs" here may include other Ch 2s of the Network.
Several of the early-May daytime Es idents were done by my
Mom while I was finishing up the last few days of my High
School senior year.
The 3.5 hours of YSR-2 on Mar 29 convinced me that was no 6m
activity in that country then (my first QSO would have to
wait until Oct 1983 after hundreds of YSR-2 relogs). I was
not then yet aware of the good chances of Es linking to the
nightime TE prop on 6m that Central America might have just
coming out of the solar minimum of 1964. (There had been,
as I later learned from QST, afternoon paths that month from
XE1GE to LU/CX.)
