Doug-
It's the terrain within a few miles of your QTH that makes the difference. Have you looked at HFTA, the terrain analysis software that comes on the ARRL Antenna Book CD? Kinda neat. I was appalled to find out that I shouldn't hear signals from EU below 8 degrees elevation due to a hill to the NE. Statistically that's about 2/3 of 'em. Good to the Pacific tho.
