Hi Mike , Have seen tropospheric bending may times over the years. This was different. Worked 2 meters for years in the 1960's Need to keep an open mind.

Tropospheric VHF and UHF band openings have nothing to do with any kind of enhanced 160m conditions. Tropospheric bending occurs when a cold air mass happens to be beneath much warmer air aloft. The reflection occurs where the two layers meet because of the difference in energy levels. _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
