Topband: 160-Meter Propagation Mysteries

[EP Swynar]

Good Day All,

Last night was a stellar one in terms of workable DX on Top Band...!

But what always absolutely & positively floors me each & every time, though, is how it's sometimes nearly impossible to work some of the especially strong signals across the pond --- and yet, how easy it is to work the really weak ones...

Several times I worked an honest-to-goodness 599 European, and got only a 559 in return --- and then a few minutes later, I'd be stunned to work a 459 Eu on the first call, & get a 579 in return...!

Only on 160...one-way propagation, or just my luck...?!
