East Asia... Polar, Transatlantic, or Transpacific?
 

Several people here have said that there has recently been a terrific
opening to East Asia. If you're in the middle of the continental U.S.
and East Asian stations are booming in, what is the route of
reception, polar, transatlantic, or transpacific?

Thanks,

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.

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.

I think it's likely over the Pacific. Need to know the orientation of the
transmitters and that would give you a sense of the direction. Could also
be getting the signal from the backside of a curtain aerial.

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

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.

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

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

Just a suggestion.
