Scatter from the Pacific is often the only way I can work other
California stations on 20/15/10, since I am far from any major
population area.  I can tell the path is possible whenever I hear the
echo of my own signal upon returning to receive mode.  There is a
distinctive "tink" sound which says propagation is going to be good.

Often I will hear the echo late at night on 20 meters telling me the
band is wide open but everyone's asleep.  Such moments always fill me
with a feeling of awe.
