Hi Eddy,

There are one or two members of this group who will contest the idea of 
one way prop, but I am convinced that it does happen.  Even with Rx 
noise levels and Tx power levels taken into account, there are sometimes 
(quite often, in fact) differences that can only be explained by one way 
propagation.

I'm not sure why the idea is so unacceptable to some.  We all learn 
about total internal reflection in high school optics.  Radio waves can 
also pass from a more dense medium into a less dense one, so why should 
the phenomenon not occur there as well?
