Hey gentlemen, today signals from NA were very strong. Worked any stations
from NA. The new phased BOG array perfoms really good compared to the single
BOG. It is very quiet and a good replacement in summer to the beverages.

I was QRV one morning when W1FV was working JAs on a skewed path. At
that time, he mentioned he was hearing them skewed to the west. When he
was seeing a skewed path, I was seeing a direct path here about 125
miles NE from his QTH. I have long beverages aimed at 260, 290 and 330
degrees. I was
It is easy to model a low dipole on EZNEC, provided that you do need to
set "Display Options" to Horizontal AND Vertical. Then you will see a
nice figure 8 pattern broadside to the dipole for horizontally polarized
signals and a 90 degree rotated pattern (otherwise identical) for
vertical polariza
Hi John,
Hard for me to argue your purely vertical antenna system skewed
observations.
Thanks as always.

Hi James,
I left a word out, and I have now added the word into my below text (I
added the word horizontal).
Yes, multipath is certainly a variable, and I'm actually trying to include

On 160 and 80, I have an 8-circle vertical receiving array. On very long
paths, it is not uncommon to see skewing. The most common example is the
path to JA, where the direct path heading should be about 330 degrees from
my QTH in New England. However, for the last couple winter seasons, when

Hi James,

Don't dismiss the possibility of multipath reflections.

Surely you would only notice this effect on Ground Wave signals (which is
what you were observing), or on VHF.
But as soon as signals start bouncing off the Ionosphere, let alone
multi-hops of various kinds, I don't believe there is ANY real polarisation
of the waves any more.

I saw the same thing all the time on 144 MHz using my horizontal yagis,
while trying to work vertically polarized stations. (usually mobiles
with vertical whips.) My yagis would always peak up the vertically
polarized stations well off the correct heading. The effect was more
noticeable when
While playing around with my portable flag that I designed for MF/HF radio
direction finding, I noticed something that confused me for about a year,
and I finally figured out what's going on which led me to think about the
160 meter skewed path comments I've seen over the years and wonder if some
