[SADXA] Propagation

[Jim Wysocki]

You're not alone.  I had the same situation happen this morning.  
European stations disappeared when the Yagi was set to a short path 
heading, but they reappeared when the antenna was rotated 45 to 90 
degrees further south.  It's like the whole ionosphere got twisted.  
Strange propagation.
