Beam Headings

Query: This morning I was on 20M working a station in French Guiana, (FY7HB) which is off the NE corner of south america. However his signal peaked in a NE direction (318 degrees) instead of South from New Mexico
Am I pointing the rotor/yagi? correctly from New Mexico? Maybe I am confused since I am use to pointing yagis from my ex station in Maryland nr DC? I don't believe it was propagation causing an anomaly of direction.? Tnx

I do not understand NE at 318 degrees¡­.FY7 is 129 degrees from Chicago.? So it should be a little south of east from NM.,? ?But anyway I played with it listening to my home station and it is not far off ¡­It should peak at 60 deg and seemed to peak about 40 degrees. The nulls off the ends also seemed about 25 degrees off¡­.. Not a big deal, and who know what propagation is doing.?

Hi John, my error, the peak tended to be at 30 degrees. Don't know where the 318 came from.. Too much prune juice here.?
