Tried it. They all fell off the antenna wire when the rainy season hit.
Most of them were worthless anyway...all those upside down pictures and
printing errors. Just NO quality controls at those mints.

That would depend upon the time of day, the frequency used, and
possibly the beam direction of the transmitted program.

The station could be received via short path, or long path
propagation.

It could also be following a 'crooked path' along the grey line,
depending upon the time of day and the frequency.

"crooked path"??

Yes. I'll let you fiddle with that idea for a bit.

Only if you've changed your name from Uncle Arnie to Dx-ass.

I especially like the ones where the Queen is upside down.

Gee, I try to turn the 'tard onto an interesting propagation mode, and he gives
me **** and plonks me. All the idiot had to do was Google 'crooked path
propagation', he might have actually learned something.

Boggling.

Each to their own. It sorta leaves me cold.

This one has more appeal. I don't quite know why. Trust those
inscrutable orientals to be the masters of subliminal messaging.
Might be because it's NOT upside down.

Gotta run. I have to go buy another Toyota.

They can't stand the heat so they flee the kitchen to hide behind their
plonk file... What's sad was there's no good reason to do so, unless they
simply want to advertise their fear of confrontation. Fer crying out loud
- it's just words on a computer screen. Is this Darwin in action?

It is also sometimes referred to as 'bent path' propagation.

I sure hope Darwin wins out. That reminds me, I haven't looked at the Darwin
Awards page for sometime, I'll have to give that a look see.

A technical term borrowed from years of Bush administration tactics. It
means a path that won't stand up to examination by the light of day.

No, no its the path into Kentucky.

GRAYLINE PROPAGATION http://dx.qsl.net/propagation/greyline.html
The Grayline is a band around the Earth that separates Daylight from
Darkness. It is a somewhat fuzzy area because the Earth's atmosphere
tend's to defuse light into darkness. On one side of the Earth the
Grayline is coming into light [Dawn] and on the other side of the planet
it is going into darkness [Dusk]. Propagation along the Grayline is very
efficient. The Grayline runs North and South but varies as much as 23
degree's either side of the North South line. The variation is caused by
the Earth's axis relative to the Sun. The major reason for excellent
Grayline Propagation is because the D-Layer disappears quickly on the
sunset side of the Grayline and hasn't built up yet on the Sunrise side.
You have about one hour for best conditions, that's about 15 degree's.

Many thanks!!
