Default One way shingles

Not that it maters but another ham and myself have been licensed for 40
years.

He built another antenna , so he has two antennas and rigs. A Midland
and GE comercial unit that puts out 40 watts each. I check the
sensitivity on a HP 8924C and they both seemed to be as good as a Midland
I was using.

It rained and now he can not hear me, but I can hear him fine on either
rig and antenna of his

Do you think we have discovered one way shingles ???

Yes. Water is able to damp completly the weak yours waves.
His waves are emitted close to the wet shingles and are damped a little
only.
