[SixClub] Do T-storms help or hurt 6m propagation?

[Jerry W9FS, EN61UP, South Bend, Indiana USA]

Doc,

I have seen good prop during a T-storm, but I can't say it was the T-storm.

I have heard Signals bounced off the ionized trail of lighting, they don't 
last long.

If isn't worth getting hit by a big bolt of lighting trying to work some on 
in a storm.

What has happened and you can work stations a few hundred miles apart. The 
tall towering clouds will push up with winds and compress the air in a layer 
upwards to 40,000 feet or so. If there are enough ions in the air you will 
have an opening.
