[OKDXA] Path here a little better

[Bert Aaron]

Alan,

Just ran a propagation prediction from your QTH. The LP looks very similar
to OK although you hear them a little earlier than we do. However, on the SP
you have better propagation than we do. Signal levels are, overall, higher
and for a longer time than we have. You also get propagation About 30
minutes earlier than we do. This explains why I couldn't hear the VU7 on the
short path when you worked him but began to hear him about 15-20 minutes
later. As for the bearing the further away from the polar path the better.

73,

Bert  K2BA

Bert:

My path is 25 degrees here and I think that little bit off the North Pole
might give me a little bit of advantage but you guys are further north than
I am and that is a true advantage on SP.  Me and my mangled antenna will
keep after it.  Keep after it and keep me posted.
