....correct, but the main reason is that trans equatorial paths are
always and anyway much better than those on the same emisphere.
Similar conditions, infact, have been reported from africa, even
farther from the equator.
Unluckily for W4's, and everyone else on the boreal emisphere, nor
the rest of USA, nor Europe or Japan lays on the austral emisphere and
its difficult to notice propagation if noone is active.
Long path night openings with ZL an VK are pretty common here, 44N,
on 10m but the ZL an VK number is rather small.
Even 6m lp openings to JA, at around 21z and when sunspots allows,
are not impossible.
