Unbelievable Range!

I've recently moved out into the woods of Crystal River, and happily found a place to run my Zaps around - While my so-called "yard" LOL ( http://www.cmoo.com/~snor/weeds/Weed..._Homestead.htm ) is an ideal place to run the MTs, it doesn't work too well for the regular Zaps (needless to say).

Today my nephew and I went to a small county park that's about 5 miles from me. The park has a gazebo type of thing thats about 50 foot square (and is covered) with nice smooth concrete, as well as a newly paved asphalt basketball court. The basketball court's surface is as smooth as silk, and measures about 100 foot by 50 foot.

Long story short, my nephew and I were getting a range of the full length of the court today... *100 foot*... original Zaps, SE Zaps, as well as the MTs, both frequencies! Amazing!

In Miami we used to race out in my driveway ( http://www.cmoo.com/~snor/weeds/driveway1.jpg / http://www.cmoo.com/~snor/weeds/driveway2.jpg / http://www.cmoo.com/~snor/weeds/our_house.htm ), and had pretty good range there (about 30-50 feet or so), but no where NEAR what we were experiencing at the court here in Crystal River! Dunno what could cause the difference 'tho, maybe all of the fresh clean country air <LOL>? -
