What is that? looks like a ton of stations feeding it. PSK Reporter. I use it all the time to see what conditions are like, and also see where I am being heard. http://pskreporter.info/pskmap.html This is the same map showing my signals with how long ago they were received.

That's really cool. I just wish I knew exactly what is means... 
I'm getting it, but slowly.  Basically, radio waves love to travel along the area between daylight and darkness. If it is dusk where you are, and dawn in South Africa, you can have a decent shot at getting them. With the length of the day changing constantly, it will drop new opportunities into your lap all throughout the year. It is cool stuff. |

I have not heard about the day/dark part of it. Makes more sense now! |

Here's a link to a short article I found online a couple of years ago that explains Gray Line Propagation if anyone is interested. I thought it was a pretty good explanation.
