Mission Complete
I guess work didn't need me after all!
Anyhow, I did head west this evening. I started in Neilgh and worked north towards Niobrara. I did find the footprints on the towers monitored are rather large. Norfolk was making the trip into O'Neill, 35 air miles west with good decode rate, 80-99%. Niobrara was useable in Neligh, however decode rates were between 50-70%.
....And to settle the truth about Naper, here is the info:

As you can see, Naper has been confirmed cc:155.4600, a155.1900.
Naper was also very hard to get a decent decode rate, wound up past Verdigre to get a useable decode rate without having to drive further west.

This will be it for now. Whenever, if ever, Elgin gets fired up, I will submit more info! the alt control channel updates and Naper will be sent to database admin for processing.
