A very hefty supply of Es for the late part of the season here. The
Aug 6 VOR/ILS catches were the best since May 28, with the IPAH path
implying an MUF of 129 MHz for someone. As is usually the case, the
ILS "aim" almost matches the bearing to here (IPAH aims 224° vs 230°
and IIKK aims 219° vs 221°).
