HI All, this is Stuart VE9CF, I used to be very active in the POTA activation space, not so much anymore, still get out, but love hunting from home, POTA and WWFF. In addition, love working DX and contesting.
That is a bit harder to do since you have no real directional capability. So, it would really be a guess and a bit of in-depth propagation. But really, it is just a guess. I will research it, but I know because if I turn my beam 180% opposite from the short path (most beam headers in QRZ etc are short path), if it gets louder, chances are, long path.
