Joe,
I should have smelled the trap ;-))
Attached is an comparison from Friday/Saturday,
showing your Opds SNR figures reported by W1VD and TF3HZ. The difference in
directivity is very large towards W1VD. Towards TF3HZ there is
a weaker and opposite trend.
Best 73,

Markus,
That was
brilliant, but alas it had nothing to do with time. Amidst pangs of guilt for
the deception, I confess to toggling TX antennas.
It seems the vertical
radiates better to the west than the wire but the wire is sometimes better at
lobbing photons across the pond.
I'll be very happy to buy you a pint for
your enlightening reply!

very 10 minutes. You are apparently repeating your sequence every 35 minutes,
with a two minute gap between 33 minute transmissions. So there are two
alternating positions relative to the receive raster, and the gap may hit either
in 3 or 4 RX slots. The whole pattern will repeat after 70 minutes (7 vertical
pixels). This is also apparent in the overlap percentage column which has
toggled between eg. 86% and 100% > > Best 73, >
