"Did you actually do very many?"

I`ve done single-hops, several-hop systems, and transcontinental
systems. I`ve done them on-shore, off-shore, and in a multi-hop loop
system on-shore and off-shore. I`ve done several systems with paths
sandwiched between tall buildings. I`ve done 960 radio, 2-GHz, and 6-GHz
systems. I`ve done space-diversity systems, hot-standby, and unprotected
systems. I`ve done solid-state systems, vacuum-tube systems, etc., etc.

I have no reason to say anything which is untrue. Floyd knows of an
anomalous hop in the desert. The path suffers reflections, else it would
not have great variation of signal with height. I know of many anomalous
systems, but I never built one. All of mine worked as designed.
