Almost very true Tim.

Please see my lowband dxpedition experience at vu7ag summarised in my blog link below

My topband experience is only in dxpedtions.

"Vertical on a beach" DXpeditions have a very different mindset about
choosing operating hours and greyline openings, than other kinds of
DXpeditions.

Often they are also away from the RFI sources that are increasingly present
even off the mainland.

It should not be surprising that, over and above whatever propagation
advantages, the right mindset and operating choices work to the advantage
of us lowband operators trying to work the DX :-)
