For those who say that it helps them point their beam, once again
nonsense.
If someone in Illinois hears an 8 call, the range of possibilities for
pointing that beam goes from NNE to SW.

I was pretty good in Mrs. Scheiders geography class, but if we include
only normal great circle routes (and exclude long-path propagation and
KH8 stations) I can't find any part of of W8-land which lies on an
azimuth SW from Illinois.

Sorry, that should have been NW. I was thinking one thing and typed another
or maybe I just got tired of Ns!

I really shouldn't be typing when I'm tired (I'm recovering from severe
pneumonia and still spend most of the day sleeping). That should be SE.

Hmmm..... maybe I need to recalibrate my astrolabe. I can't make
anything with "W" fit the conditions.
