I agree, Mark. I've seen some strange things due to propogation.  DXers do
not endear themselves to broadcasters when they make those kinds of
comments.  I have been on both sides.  Would love to someday see that 1/4
mile long antenna you keep out there in Utah or Western Colorado do it's
thing.

What DX-ers often say is that "the station's cheating."  That over-worked
word flies in the face of the very attribute that makes DX-ing fun: the
vagaries of propagation.

Instead of a cartwheel and a 'wow', when conditions shift to bring a station
pounding in 20-30 db higher than usual, the usual response is: "they're
cheating; they're still on day power."

End of rant
