This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.</pre>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m seeing the same thing here- we have a
heavy rain cell directly between my QTH and the W2UTH beacon
in FN12hv that’s been sitting still all morning. The beacon
is very strong here today on the direct path, but purely rain
scatter. Lots of spreading- almost 2kHz. I normally cannot
hear the beacon at my QTH due to tree blockage and terrain.
I’m even seeing rain scatter on our 1296 beacon.<o:p></o:p></p>

and I did a quick experiment to see how effective 10 GHz RS
was when the path was going through really dense rain.
Surprisingly even though my end was going through a solid
100 miles of heavy rain we had excellent RS signals. The
total path length was 225 miles (360 km) and it was raining
cats & dogs. Enclosed is a snap shot of the rain layout
between us and a URL for a brief WAV file of the QSO. Also
surprisingly not a crazy amount of spreading.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

this might encourage others to get out there and take
advantage of all this wonderful rain :-)</span><o:p></o:p></p>

we also tried hitting several isolated rain cells 20-30
degrees off direct with equally FB signals.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
