[Lowfer] Excellent LF Propagation

[Warren Ziegler]

Bill,
      Thanks, two thoughts on why the long haul signals seem to be
better than the local signals:
1) Perhaps there is less background static at the moment in Europe and
Russia than here.
2) Something (D-Layer ionospheric cloud?) may be directly overhead
absorbing the high angle signals characteristic of short hop
propagation, and leaving the low angle stuff untouched.

This even makes it more confusing how propagation of US 1W signals is getting to be so poor right now (and has been the trend since this band became available, for what? 30yrs +). I'd be interested in finding out what kind of signal strength you are putting into these European receiving sights. I mean absolute values in uv/M not S/N.
