I hardly believed it when I couldn't copy VK4WPX with the
beam to the west.  I could only copy him with the beam to the 
Northeast on 15M.  I thought it was a bit strange.  So I put the
beam back to Northeast and copied his ten QTC's!

Then ZL2BMH calls me.  I hear him, my beam is Northeast so
I swing it Southwest and he disappears!

It's got to be some sort of backscatter.  But I've never seen it
like this to VK/ZL on 15M before.  Guess 30 years of hamming,
having seen everything!
