Most 'simplistic' propagation programs do NOT do a good job of predicting 
Long Path (or Low Band) propagation.  

I find that Terminator Maps such as The DX Edge or the MAP protion of W6EL 
Prop combined with a knowledge of how Low Band Propagation works is much more 
useful.

PropView, which utilizes the IONCAP engine, accurately predicted the 20m
longpath opening from the US East Coast to VK9/X. Its free, and
available via www.qsl.net/dxlab .

Last few days, I been tinkering with W6EL Prop trying to get
it to spew forth some LP Prop from VK9/X to NC.

Skewed the solar indices up an down, inside and out.
Added gain to my vertical, lowered the radiation angle. Decreased the
path loss, still no LP

Sunday PM around 2330 UTC, VK9XN Long Paths to the
East Coast and Mid-West...Ha !!

Speaking of Mother Nature - trouble in 3C - probably had something to do
with a woman. Don't get me wrong ladies. Women themself are usually no
problem. It's the men who usually cause the problems. General Patton had
a whole Army of men, and he knew all about "bad problems" with women and
men. President Truman, you know, was very insecure about his presidency.
He was always worried that 
after the war, some retired General would beat him out of a term. I have
often wondered if Patton's car accident leaving Great Britain was just a
fluke, or Truman had his brakes tinkered with.

Truman was especially worried about the General with the corn-cob pipe
who was in charge of the post WWII military to civilian transitionary
government in Japan. This General who had no political ambitions still
holds the record for the largest ever ticker-tape parade in NYC. This
General also knew about "bad problems". Well.maybe we shall soon
find out what happened that was "very bad" in 3C. Truman also found out
about a General he wan't even worried about, some guy by the name of
Isenhower.
