Cycle 24 Screenshot Project | 24 March 2012

The density of signal traffic across three bands beginning with 10m (top), 15m (middle), and 20m (bottom) is not mind bending instead it is one of maximizing short lived openings into major metropolitan areas while scoring as many local points as possible.

The west coast is waiting on the sun and a path into Europe when my screenshots were taken, currently, 15m signal traffic has significant density between Europe and the east coast this morning. It's an achievement when a signal from the west coast punches through two walls of signals and establishes bandwidth in Europe for at least two hours worth of decent rate.

Definition
Multipath according to the Glossary Solar Terrestrial Terms is, "...A degraded condition of radio propagation in which the radio wave splits and arrives at the receiver via different paths. Because each path will generally have different lengths, arrival times, and phases, the signal received will suffer fading."

Contest on!
