[Lowfer] 137 kHz TA Path

[Laurence KL7UK]

Yes another nite of poor conditions, and some days to go up this far - interesting to watch JA1CGM on 137.777 and a bit (from memory) coming into Scotts VE7TIL snapper clearer than mine (much longer path from Scott) but on a similar Great circle path - weve seen this before during disturbed periods up North. Odd stuff this....nothing from XES.
