I have written article on the subject of propagating radio waves by
ducting/refraction in CQ Magazine, June 1980. I have been ridiculed (not
possible) and told that this is nothing new at the same time. Our ham
literature keeps insisting that we propagate by "mirrors in the sky" - by
reflection. I (and few others) have posted on the reflector notes about high
angle propagation on 160 and use of low inverted Vees (more ridicule).
I had another proof this Sunday morning with T32MP - found him lonely,
calling CQ - he was readable only on Inverted Vee, not on 4-square, not on any
of 12 beverages. I was happy to work him for multiplier (no packet crowd QRM).
Thanks to all those who worked me with my new nice short VE1BY call. Too
many errors (UBN) with VE3BMV/1 in the past. Whata a relief!
