Topband: Reversebeacon S/N interpretation

[K1FZ-Bruce]

Had a large front to back on my transmit phased verticals indicating 
low angle reception last night. 
 (Some times called spot-light propagation)
Top band is alive and well !

       I felt conditions were really good to EU last night on 160M. 

But look at these S/N numbers below that came from reversebeacon. I know
that due to measurement to measurement jitter that we have to reject
outliers. 

There is a string of spots where me and other 3-landers are consistently
being spotted in EU with S/N in the 30-67 dB range.
