This morning I connected to KD0SFY in Colorado Springs on 40 meters... not exactly NW USA but not in the expected coverage area of my inverted V. I also connected once to a 20 meter gateway in Australia from Texas. Elevated dipoles and Yagis would probably work better at distant stations especially at night on 40 meters, so its not that hard to believe that activity on the opposite side of the country would affect usage on the other side.

The WDT has the right to moderate usage of the Winlink system, and the messages I was referring to were posted on the Winlink forum after the fact.
