I hear ya 5 by 5. But having flown SoPAC fairly extensivly with the latest and greatest of HF radios ........trust me its a son of a gun to raise any center even on a good day!
But having flown SoPAC fairly extensivly with the latest and greatest of HF radios ... trust me its a son of a gun to raise any center even on a good day! Its not a whole lot easier to get a good HF shot even on dry land or aboard a ship. So many variables can affect it. Trust me on this.
(filled with admiration for people brave enough to fly over oceans with nothing but HF BUMP)
