Topband: Strange propagation

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

Well so much for the ARRL card checkers as unless the checker here in a 
U.S. Territory  has a DXCC on 160 they will not accredit him/her and I 
must send the cards for 160 meter (just 160 meters) via the post 
office.  Another one of the ARRL's inconsistent policies that makes no 
sense.
