[CW] Enhanced AREA Propagation

Sat Apr 20 00:21:02 EDT 2013

Propagation is a strange animal.

On Thursday - yesterday in USA - I usually check into the Society of
Wireless Pioneers Intercontinental Net but I missed the SOWP net yesterday,
it slipped my mind - but with good reason.

15 meters was solid into Indonesia - three stations on there, one on SSB.

Then I worked V85TL in BRUNEI DARUSSALAM.

I don't do that every day.

I never thought I'd ever work Brunei Darussalam which is 9168 miles away.

For the fun of it I set up a filter for the Indonesian CQ DX Zone and with
spotters on North America and this is what I got:
