With rain/clouds in the forecast for Western Washington and Oregon, can anyone tell me what is the closest place with a good chance (60%+) of visible sun, even if through a little haziness? Parts of Eastern Washington are looking cloudy for Sunday afternoon too, so could I go further East?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-13615263167007491482012-05-18T10:32:26.951-07:002012-05-18T10:32:26.951-07:00Happy Mt.

I guessed they were a weird sort of ground clutter since there were no real clouds, and I guess I was more or less right. :-)JewelyaZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09434569437851248356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-56834897785379745932012-05-18T09:32:34.996-07:002012-05-18T09:32:34.996-07:00Presumably one must admit that the much-heralded ~...Presumably one must admit that the much-heralded ~0deg elevation angle capability employed for the LGX/Langley Hill (as previously described at http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~cliff/Langleyradar.html) is exacerbating this problem beyond what is routinely experienced at other coastal sites...Brad Smullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17710244584264515445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-50501553503176858492012-05-18T09:21:06.938-07:002012-05-18T09:21:06.938-07:00Amateur radio enthusiasts are quite familiar with ...Amateur radio enthusiasts are quite familiar with this phenomenon, because the same ducting effect can be used to make VHF radio contacts far beyond the usual line-of-sight range. Hawaii-to-California contacts on the 2 meter (144 MHz) band via ducting are reasonably common certain times of year. It's fascinating how the atmospheric conditions affect radio waves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-45234532865544407242012-05-18T06:26:45.223-07:002012-05-18T06:26:45.223-07:00This is fascinating.
