Oh please...  I was not talking about a direct beam heading.  Yes, I know 
K7C is 298 degrees from my QTH, and if I didn't the software tells me it is.

I was talking about times when strange things happen, such as skewed paths.

Sorry I haven't been around long enough to know about all the propagation 
flukes; most of you have been contesting for many more years than I have 
been alive.  So, helpful reports like that on the cluster *have* helped me. 
Snibe comments like yours on these mailing lists don't do much for anyone.

Tom, NI1N
