I am a newcomer to 160M this season and, admittedly, am not using low 
noise, directional antennas on receive, but I have observed what Larry 
has described here.  Often I have heard other stations 100-200 miles 
away from me hearing and working DX that I can't even copy via ESP.  Is 
this typical for 160M?  In other words, are signals often received only 
within a narrow geographic window?
