While I don't know enough to say it doesn't, what I do know causes me to 
be skeptical. What DOES exist are 1) one-way listening with directional 
RX antennas and 2) RF noise. I live in a relatively quiet location and 
have multiple RX antennas, so I generally hear much better than those 
I'm trying to work, but even here, I can't hear much on my TX antenna.

Here in NorCal, near San Francisco, I haven't heard (or seen a weak 
trace on my P3 display) of a CW signal from EU this season. Last week, I 
worked UR and EA on FT8, and decoded several others.
