hi reflectees !
Although it is of pure academic interest it might be interesting to quantify the 
skew.By permitting certain scientific incorrectness and simplifying of 
propagation models, i guess it is pretty safe to say the following.
If we had the time lag of the tx sig on 160 calculated, which could be done by 
tying the phase to a direct travelling sig ( such as a longwave sig ), we would 
be fairly easy able to tell about the magnitude of skew, of course we need to 
correct for chordial hopping etc.But this is an approach for someone really into 
the hard- and software aspect of it.Being more pragmatic about it means to have 
more than one rx antenna and then get some experience with it.
