*** I think Michael may have slipped with his choice of words, however
severe weather frontal boundaries do accompany Es in some cases - it
can be either near the tx or rx or both. I've noted this a number of
times over the years. In fact my first Es reception was one of those.
I agree no one has proven any causative relationship, but they do
appear together often enough to be more than coincidental.
