[TowerTalk] Geomagnetic Field

[Josh Logan]

Let's keep in mind skewed paths
On 40m I have worked HS0 (from Colorado ) with beams peaking on SW !!!
When shortest bearing would be NW !  90 degrees with long boom
yagis is a BIG difference !!!
Bearings  smearings!  Don't always assume Short Path!
Keep an open mind  and an open bowel !
