>The boys at ZL7 know full well about propagation and the following facts
may be of interest to you:

>1.  The path to JA is "not" open all night long as you claim, but rather
peaks from about 1000z to 1300z and then fades right away.

>2.  They are currently giving 449/559 reports to the JAs - not what you
would call easy pickings
>
>3.  They spent the last 3 nights trying to work W stations (as ZM7A on the
last two nights) with virtually no success -  that makes about 15 hours
minimum by my reckoning  -  where were all the W boys?
