Were it 20 or 15 it could be that he was copying GA via long path -- now that would mess with the signal even if it were the same signal strength!
I remember a 15 or 20M QSO on a vertical at the old Club station and the guy said "Talk for a couple of minutes, I want to try something." When he came back he said "Thought so, my beam was in the wrong direction and we were working long path." Since I was on a vertical I had no way of knowing! Propagation is fun! :-) > When the 80 meter band goes long you may be far enough from the FL > station so that you can copy OK, but too close to the GA station. > 73, Rick, KV9U -- Thanks! & 73, doc, KD4E ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Projects: http://ham-macguyver.bibleseven.com Personal: http://bibleseven.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Announce your digital presence via our DX Cluster telnet://cluster.dynalias.org Our other groups: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dxlist/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/themixwgroup http://groups.yahoo.com/group/contesting http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wnyar http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Omnibus97 Yahoo!
