Rain is good for skip
Gee, Buzz. Yer contradicting yerself. First you say,
"Rain has nothing to do with skip" then you say "Rain may improve receiving conditions somewhat" which is what the original post conveyed: rain is good for skip.

No one except YOU said anything about rain producing skip. The title says, "Rain is good for skip." And it is. Communication problems giving you issues again? Maybe I need to t y p e v e r y s l o w l y so you can grasp it. Rain has nothing to do with skip. Skip is determined by conditions in the ionosphere some 60 miles above the earth. Rain is produced in the troposphere which extends from ground level up to approximately 6 miles. Rain may improve receiving conditions somewhat in some instances but skip is either there or it isn't and rain has nothing to do with it. So it raining at your location and you claim that makes it better for you to hear DX stations. So if it isn't raining at the DX stations location I guess he then can't hear you, right? The original poster said: "All this rain is making for some good conditions. I'm pointing south to see if I can hear you. I'll be on 38 lsb the rest of the day. 667 in the Great Lakes" The rain had nothing to do with him hearing and DX stations via skip. He would be hearing them even if it wasn't raining. The rain had nothing to do with the propagation conditions. |
