[CQ-Contest] Ionospheric heating

[K8GT]

I certainly cannot argue with the logic (and physics) presented by Tree
and Tom.  If the concept were true, a lot of people were not doing their
job a week and a half ago for the WPX contest.  Well maybe some wierdos
were 'cuz some of the propagation was certainly wierd.  Actually, the
fact that all of us are active during a contest will show up good
propagation paths, not the other way around.  As with "Conspiracy
theorists", they see "coincidence" and yell "conspiracy".
