Luis and Pascal,   Heartiest congratulations on this 8783km transequatorial trek and persistence that yielded 2200m receptions, -25 and -28dB SNR at 0230 & 0236z last night! 

       The requested w5est article is at May 21, 2018 KB5NJD blog:  http://njdtechnologies.net/052118/ 

       It refers to Luis' comments at May 20, 2018:  http://njdtechnologies.net/052018/  

       The reasoning for equatorial anomaly prop chordally beneath uplifted tilted E-region contour surface portions would likely apply to 2200m also, as I see it.  Other insights and reasoning by you and other operators are most welcome too.

       A probability discussion of various other proposed prop types on DX paths suggested they are less likely than E-region reflections on 2200m:  http://njdtechnologies.net/060418/

GL & 73, Jim H  W5EST

Hi LF     Thank you all guys for your messages. Specially Pascal for being there in silence, but constantly
This games, as we all know, are a matter of persistence. And suddenly one day miracle happens
         Very interesting sunrise plots. Wonder if same can be done between LU and EA during the opposite
solstice. There are some LU's willing to run good Rx right there and this may be a next goal
        Another question to W5EST. Can this spots be also benefit from the equatorial anomaly which favoured
a long distance hop without ground attenuation at crossing equator ?
        BTW, I'm trying to recall the article at John's NJD site, but no success so far ;-) 73 de Luis EA5DOM

Congrats, Luis!  FB! Hi LF   Last nigt we got some kind of planet alightment ;-)
          Antenna impedance was nice for the PA to work properly
          No wind and stable weather conditions
          I could leave the Tx running overnight  And last but most important, Pascal FR5DH was monitoring LF
