Short Path (SP) or Long Path (LP)

Direction SP to Brazil

Direction LP to Brazil

The Shortest Path not always the best path..sometimes Long Path working much much better rather than Short Path..but normally it's does not last long for LP, only about 20-30min at one time..conditions are always changing..solar activity and it's influence upon the Earth, the position of the earth relative to time of day and axis tilt - time of year - all play major roles in influencing HF propagation..it takes years of listening and operating to learn all these secrets and is what makes HF radio so interesting..
