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!

best wishes,
Nick
