Do you ever get to the point that your signal bounces off the upper
layers instead of passing thru? I note that some users of the vhf have
seen ducting effects (temp inversions?)

I hae not noticed it, but will not say that it can not hapen.

I have worked Texas from NC on two meters and lots of times way to the north
on 2 and 432. *I was not working the sats while that was going on.

I used to have a longwire that really liked to work into Louisanna
from NC. One of the lobes must have been going right into Sldell.
