Nothing else to add - in 40+ years of DXing, I've never picked up India over Japan in late August. Anything is possible. Colin Newell - CoffeeCrew.com - VA7WWV - Victoria - BC > On Aug 30, 2016, at 9:30 PM, Glenn Hauser wrote: > > I would normally defer to the expertise

--- Begin Message --- I would normally defer to the expertise of the Pacific Northeast MW DXers on this, but you seem to be ignoring the factors I am basing this on --- DF from the north, the existence of a grayline path at this hour, and a megawatt to start with. I was getting 774 Japan
