Proved consistently over a continuous 3 week period from XZ0A. The XZ
sunset path to NA was there every day at a stronger level than the direct
path, for a period of 1 to 2 hours. Then the path from the SE would go away
and the direct northerly path would be the only one available.
I am a believer. I know. I was there. I constructed the antennas and I
did a lot of the operating, in particular the spectacular last night
opening.
