Garry, Nice catch of WM! How often could that skip happen?? Not very I 
bet. That is the second nice DX report for my beacons this season, as Ed 
H. caught the WM Hifer in CA. a few days ago.

I looked at a map and there is not much difference in the angle between 
us and N6GN. Maybe his loop is directed further south of me, I am on the 
north edge, putting SIW further in the null.

Thanks for listening.
