First off I don't really believe in one way propagaiton unless someone
can convince me otherwise ? However, I am curious about a phenomenon
I've experienced with a number or radios and antennas over the years.
I've had eveything from a 4 element Yagi at 55 feet to the dipoles I'm
using now and lots of new transcievers. I work all CW and on occasion
I'll get a 599 signal report from the other station yet he's barely
copyable from my end. They all seem to be running the same 100 watts
or more that I'm using now and are using a dipole cut for the
frequency in use like I am or a G5RV etc. I wonder if anyone else has
observed this and/or has an explanation ? This has occured on new
transceivers too numerous to name over the years. So I know its not a
problem with a particular radio.

radio waves aren't garanteed a duplex path"" radiowaves are often
unpredictable, it's possible that natural phenom can't prevent or lessen
your signal to someplace, even thou that place comes in good to you

a ton of things can cauz this , i would ask why do you assume that
just because a path opens up to you , that you presume as matter of
fact that a path from you out must be the same?? (even if we presume
your set ups are identical)
