Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

There was a major DXpedition within the last two years, I don't remember which
one.  I tried for days to work them on 30 meters.  Due to propagation, you
literally could not hear ANY of the stations they were working.  The DX was
coming in fine, but you could not hear the callers from the USA.  It was just a
wild guess where to put the VFO to work them.

I really wish I could remember who it was.  Sometimes propagation can be VERY
frustrating!
