The W3AFM series was interesting in its time, but pretty rudimentary by today's standard. One of the commonplace things in those days was to equate DXing with contesting. This notion of "layers" of s
Pete, I disagree. While there certainly are no discrete quanta of DX station layers, there's no question that layers of stations are only workable when the path loss is less than x. As an example, lo
Basic principles remain basic principles always, regardless when they are studied or analized, is it 1966 or 2006. For sure, there ARE several different layers of correspondents. And the layers depen

Interestingly, Vladimir ... I've observed the same thing at the other end of the spectrum... 24 and 47 GHz. SSB Electronics makes a 0.2 mW (yes, 200 microwatts!) 47 GHz transverter. Even into a 1-foo
Barry, I don't think you and I have any disagreement. I was only trying to point out the fallacy of the "layer" notion - or as you say, discrete quanta. There is no doubt that as path loss decreases,
