Hi Bob,
A single data point, partial answer to your question... Of course it depends on where you are in the sunspot cycle, and I didn't work mode K very often (preferred Mode A with RS-10), but I don't recall many (any?) times when I should have heard the bird and didn't. Lots of times that I heard conversations on the 10m downlink of folks who were working simplex in the uplink passband and didn't know it. But as you note, we often dismiss and forget missing things due to bad propagation, since that's the norm on HF.

So far, no one has described how often they could not even hear the bird or get into it even though it was in range. I think that is the data that is missing?
