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.

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

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.

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.

Perhaps you should take up stamp collecting, rather than radio.

Just a suggestion.

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.
