For those who say that it helps them point their beam, once again
nonsense.
If someone in Illinois hears an 8 call, the range of possibilities
for
pointing that beam goes from NNE to SW.

I was pretty good in Mrs. Scheiders geography class, but if we
include
only normal great circle routes (and exclude long-path propagation
and
KH8 stations) I can't find any part of of W8-land which lies on an
azimuth SW from Illinois.

Sorry, that should have been NW.

Hmmm..... maybe I need to recalibrate my astrolabe. I can't make
anything with "W" fit the conditions.
