All absolute statements are wrong.  :)     There is a small chance that some unique DX packets will randomly make it through the system. This is, I would guess, what the K12 propagation website relies on.

Hopefully our next generation IS will preserve and make available dupes if only for local stations to enable better propagation studies and network management.

It's fun to pick out some DX packets...   Somewhere I saved the San Francisco region node broadcasts I received up here in the Seattle area during a similar lift a few years ago.
