Same observations here Bill.
When the signal is near the geomagnetic pole, the path often skews
30 or so degrees. In Ohio, I noticed that with VS6DO morning after
morning. VU, JT1 and others were that way also.
Never, in almost 30 years of 160 DXing, have I observed Eu or
Africa signals skewing.
>From Georgia the JA's are always NW and signals are there morning
after morning, but from Ohio they used to peak short and often be
more west than north west.
