Several people here have said that there has recently been a

opening to East Asia. If you're in the middle of the

what is the route of 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.

Dx-ass again?!

Only if you've changed your name from Uncle Arnie to Dx-ass.

Plonk.

Gee, I try to turn the 'tard onto an interesting propagation mode, and
he gives me **** and plonks me. All the idiot had to do was Google
'crooked path propagation', he might have actually learned something.

Boggling.

They can't stand the heat so they flee the kitchen to hide behind their
plonk file... What's sad was there's no good reason to do so, unless they
simply want to advertise their fear of confrontation. Fer crying out loud
- it's just words on a computer screen. Is this Darwin in action?

It is also sometimes referred to as 'bent path' propagation.

I sure hope Darwin wins out. That reminds me, I haven't looked at the Darwin
Awards page for sometime, I'll have to give that a look see.
