Absolutely. HF radio propagation is a pretty complex matter, though. Lots of factors involved - a couple of useful links (hopefully not too technical): http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/propagation/ionospheric/hf-propagation-basics.php http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/pr...lar-indices.php

Also read the blog from the vendor. Then google SDR Radio and look for youtube videos. I did not include links because they change so fast. However google (or duckduckgo.com) is your friend. Yes, it has a steep learning curve, but if you have the technical background and interest you will find it to be an amazzzzzzing gadget. _________________________ ...........From Nomad.........Been "on the road" since '97
