[SixClub] Backscatter on Sporadic E

[Wes Spence]

I am fairly new to 6, but on HF CW for almost 4 decades.  I just put up 
a 4 element beam for 6 over the weekend, and worked WA8ZBT on 
backscatter last night off the Es cloud that was allowing the strong 
opening to Mexico.  I am in Southeast Texas and ZBT is in Dallas.  
During the short CW QSO,I turned the beam toward him and his signal went 
away confirming it was backscatter.  I was not aware this was common on 
6, but will listen for in it the future.
