Search “spotlight propagation” there’s some fascinating stuff. Well documented on 160 but happens on other bands too.

You should know the answer to this one Jay!  That is why we all call it "The Magic Band"!
Nice contact Jay :-)

So I was working N7PHY in DN76 and right after that QSO I had JL8GFB call me.  We completed the QSO!  The band was pretty much dead seeing only N7PHY and looking on DXMaps under the MUF Sp—E tab there just isn’t a lot of anything going on right now much less towards the NW and JA!  So how in the world did the JA’s signal get here?

 

I guess that why they call it the Magic Band!  73 de w5jay/jay..
