Propagation on 2m has been really good the last 2 mornings, and here I
present the results.

This is the RaspberryPi put into service as IGate, with stations
directly heard soon after dawn 300km away. I only have about 10m height
above average terrain, so that's pretty impressive reception.

The Pi is not very stable on this job, it locks up when I leave my
desk. I don't know whether Xastir or Aprx is to blame for this or if
the Pi is overheating.
