I want to make sure I'm not missing something.
I have a short tower with 3 antennas - a 7el 2m, 3 el 6m and an old F12 C3 (3
interlaced 2 el 20-15-10) Ham IV and HyGain controller. With the exception
perhaps of the 2m antenna, these aren't exactly sharply focused. For casual HF
DX operating and contests I point NE early in the day for EU, NW late in the
day for AP, and S for TEQ. Domestic contests I mostly just point westerly and
leave it there.
For this type of operation (no moon bounce or satellite tracking) I wouldn't
think I'd need the antenna to change direction for every QSO, especially during
a contest; certainly not a very precise direction; and so I'm wondering if I'm
missing an opportunity here.
