is worked.


Bill is right on the money! My 40m long path (1300-1500Z or so in  
Fall/Winter) into Eu/Mid East usually holds better sig levels than the  short path and I 
dont have east coast to contend with. In last fall CQWW CW I  worked 122 
countries on 40 and I bet if I took a look at the logs I have more  "mults/hr" in 
the long path period than the short path period. Its just a normal  operating 
mode for us out here on 40, and one you have to remember to use. Its  real 
easy to continue working the JA's and forget to turn the beam SW!
