[OKDXA] FT5ZM

[Kim Elmore]

I have found that the best heading is skewed almost 90 deg to the west (CCW) from the shortest path heading ( about 29-30 deg). This has been uniform for all bands. Since they are very near the antipode for us, SP and LP start to lose meaning. Every beam heading essentially points to them and vice versa. The skew has to be due to geomagnetic affects.
