Still 1 interesting aspect was observed: Back Scatter on PA4EME. Frank is located 200 km to the SE of me, and he was beaming South and so was I! At certain times during the opening his signal would become much stronger than the standard tropo residu (which has the well known tropo back scatter tremble). The strong signal would be clear and did not get weaker while I beamed more to the west, up to to 200 degrees! Beaming towards Frank on direct path produced a Phasing sound on the signal (direct + back scatter!). This was interesting! But how the heck do we get 7X to become QRV (again) on 2 metres....???
