Another interesting phenomena is wind sheer at this set of
frequencies. If the prevailing wind is from the right direction,
sometimes you can hear conversations and calls from as much as 200
miles distance - sometimes even more. It happens in the spring and
fall more than any other time.


Hey Tom,

I've never heard of wind significantly effecting EM wave propagation. Do you
have a reference handy? I'd like to understand it and google came up empty.
