Re: [CQ-Contest] Russian Beats Out Canada for Magnetic North ... For Now

Hi Dave,

Thanks for posting that interesting article.

What effect, if any, does this have on beam headings through the Northern 
regions – like UA0, UA3, JA?
Does it change them at all?  If so, how and by what amount?

Tnx & 73

Bob, KQ2M

Good thing HF antennas generally have relatively wide beam width if you use
a compass to orient without correcting for deviation.

This also has a subtle effect on propagation paths through the polar areas,
depending upon your location.
