KAZ, I was LMAO, as well. Almost as funny as 25+ years ago when the PD
(!) from a Dallas FM station sent us listeners (DX'ers and non-DX'ers
alike, who stumbled across their station via sporadic E prop) a note
that stated that we heard them because Dallas had 22 straight 100 degree
(F) days. The hot air is not confined to BC. :)

station,

coastal

stratified.

through

>Lacate says in rare conditions like these, radio waves can travel
across

peak
