Hi Larry,

I even find that they are not always reliable indicators for prop condx to 
me, as I am on South Island, and they are on North Island (400 km away). 
This especially true for antipodal or near antipodal paths.

VK is 2500 km away, so the correlation would be even less perfect between 
there and ZL.
