> One-way prop seemed to dominate the
> weekend from here.
I'm glad someone else noticed! I've always kinda wondered if "one-way
skip" was real, but this weekend made a believer out of me. On all bands,
but it seemed especially on 20, I had many instances where guys with HUGE
signals couldn't even seem to hear me when I put a full-legal signal right
at them. This seemed most prevalent with signals from the NE. One W1 was
an honest 10-over-9 and CQ'd in my face for at least a minute before I got
his attention. I wondered if some of those Greenies had climbed my tower
and substituted a cantenna for my TH7!
If it was evident me running B-power, I can imagine the A and Q guys really
noticed it.
