Sounds like what we had at Grayland, Patrick. It was a bit like that last
year, as we tried to stay awake long enough to hear NHK2 sign off, but this
year there was a lot of good quality signals from the smaller private
Japanese stations also.

That's quite interesting news. I thought of the EWE family of antennas as
providing good nulling characteristics with quite a broad response in the
desired direction, but your relatively small change in direction seems to
be making a big difference in signal strength. Maybe I should swing my 270
degree Flag around to 300 degrees!
