I couldn't agree more, Chuck, and let me say how much your comment 
warmed me up, after what I consider an incredibly rude accusation by 
Jan-Erik. I was there, with Rocco and Enrico for Xebal and with Rocco 
for Emisora Espacial (BTW, that recording was made in Deiva, East of 
Levanto, in a friend's seashore condo, with a 70 meters, West bound 
random wire hanging from our balcony to a pole on the beach) and we 
indeed speculated all the time about propagation, even while 
gathering up information and evidence about Espacial. In 27 years and 
a countless number of XD session in Liguria, I'm sure I never 
experienced the same excitement, starting from the first clear 
mention of "provincia de Julcan" on the Espacial tape and ending up 
with the phone conversation with the station manager, Sr. Pedro 
Silvestre Rodriguez, confirming us that "Roberto Robles" is their 
promotion and advertising manager. There's still much to discuss in 
my opinion and do hope everyone here shall feel free to contribute 
her/his two-cent. One particularly impressive detail descends from 
looking on the azimuthal map centered in L'Ago at the great circle 
portion of the presumed propagation path. Both for Xebal or Espacial, 
the line joins quite exactly our location with the originating 
signals, passing through the very same area we were listening to from 
berfore (or even during recepcion, as in the case of WMTW, Maine and 
XEAI Mexico. Before that, WWNN Florida and XEBAL were on the same 
path). Comments on grayline role are being taken in due account, too, 
for we were surprised Peru on 1390 should come so late after CPN 
first fade-in time, around 23:50. I woulnd't rule out Otuzco altitude 
as a factor, if only I knew its altitude.

Once again Thank You, Chuck
