This is pretty interesting stuff.
This seems to be the most plausible explanation for what I experience on a regular basis.

It kinda reminds me of all the times I did this...

 

you both have a lot of the answers your the only two I consistently watch on this forum and read what your saying .... do what you do and back away from something when you feel you need too.

 

You got to give WindSmith a little credit. Nobody else has ever mentioned that other type of propagation where you barely clip the top of a mountain with your signal causing your signal to diffract to the valley below on the other side

 

not denying giving him credit. he's keeping it interesting! !!!

If those are indeed the two points where you two were able to communicate, then I'm stumped as to how you were able to. There are, in fact, at least three obstacles along that direct path. However, those obstacles become less of a factor is he was traveling West after he exited. Which I think that he may have been.
