Topband: It is not so much propagation

[w7dra at juno.com]

 need a Beverage? hearing a station just above the noise? 

there is a VE3 i hear at 0200z at 559 and have to wait until 1000z when
he is 589, in order to work him. 

you  guys who never work QRP, when is the last time you have called the
same station 200 times in a CQWW contest? and never work him............
