Several people here have said that there has recently been a terrific

reception, polar, transatlantic, or transpacific?

That would depend upon the time of day, the frequency used, and possibly
the beam direction of the transmitted program.

The station could be received via short path, or long path propagation.

It could also be following a 'crooked path' along the grey line,
depending upon the time of day and the frequency.

"crooked path"??

Yes. I'll let you fiddle with that idea for a bit.
