From about 16-21Z we might be able to work Europe by pointing at Africa/SouthAtlantic and running high power into an efficient low-angle antenna. We can then take advantage of the skew/backscatter path from the South Atlantic into Europe. Similarly, while we are working into the Pacific around 21-24Z we may work JA and Asia by a similar skew/backscatter path. It is always interesting to try pointing one antenna on the direct path, and another on the skew path, and switch back and forth ...
