It is one thing to just receive a fragment of a signal but quite another to make a QSO. The Vladivostok Dxpedition has truly turned out to be a great success. As regards North/South propagation, when I received G3AQC's signals in Marrakech last October they were surprisingly strong - considering that I was using a 10m long dipole (configured as a Marconi against mains earth). Although the DX path was nowhere near the UA0 - ZL distance the signals were almost dogboning. So either we had very good propagation or there is more to North/South propagation than meets the eye.
