Thank you for your diagnosis Doctor :-)

The title and "innovative" etc. stuff was inserted by the editors of CQ, I 
saw it after the issue came out.
I tried to use fiber optic analogy to illustrate the ducting, conducting, or 
whatever is happening up there. I suppose I could have used "cloudy mother of 
hamburgers clouds" or something like that to describe what I have observed, 
independently of the prior geniouses. Maybe fuzzy fiber channel would have been 
better. I didn't do the PhD thesis on it, I am just contester enjoying radio 
and beating others.

I studied mostly ham literature and I was indoctrinated by the "mirrors" in 
the sky and it didn't jive with what I was observing with killer antennas.

All I wanted to point out that perhaps there is more ducting (conducting) 
going on down on HF than is generally believed.  If that was rubbish to you, than 
I apologize for insulting your intelligence. (Looks like you graduated from 
"W8JI university"? :-)
