Hi Dave,
Thanks for posting that interesting article.
What effect, if any, does this have on beam headings through the Northern regions – like UA0, UA3, JA?
Does it change them at all? If so, how and by what amount?
Tnx & 73

Good thing HF antennas generally have relatively wide beam width if you use
a compass to orient without correcting for deviation.
This also has a subtle effect on propagation paths through the polar areas,
depending upon your location.
