Inyo Whooper in 2 California locations
« on: December 05, 2013, 0050 UTC »
I heard the Inyo Whooper when in Ridgecrest, CA and it was very weak.
Today, about 200miles away in the Central Coast, I heard it with a stronger signal than in Ridgecrest. I'm happy to hear it for the first time here and I find it interesting that it was a stronger signal.

I wonder why it was weaker in Ridgecrest. Maybe snow was on its solar cell?  There was a lot of snow in the high elevations around there.
