During the summer,        the results are very good! But.. in the winter the returns are        poor - primarily because they don't clean the snow off the        panels!              --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.64        * Origin: My Westcoast Point (1:153/757.21)       SEEN-BY: 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/305 134/100 153/0       SEEN-BY: 153/135 143 148 151 153 757 7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 229/110 111 114 206 300 307 317 400       SEEN-BY: 229/426 428 470 664 700 705 240/1120 5832 266/512 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 5006 291/111 292/8125 301/1 320/219 322/757 341/66       SEEN-BY: 341/234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124 467/888 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 902/26 2320/105 3634/12 5020/400 8912 5054/30       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 153/757 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
