Tree,
Well the propagation on 160 sure can be weird at times. Some say that there
is no "Spot-Light" propagation.
I know that there is. I remember very well about 10 years ago, there was a
T30
on 160 in our evening, his sunset. He had a good signal into the midwest.
Ken NA0Y, Bud NI0F
and I worked him on the first call. Ron K9YY, located about 80 miles north,
called and called.
Ron didn't work the T30 until the next evening. Ron had a VERY big signal on
160. He
was one of the few in the midwest, that worked Merv, K9FD and myself when we
were at BY1QH
on 160 in Jan 1998.
