My directional ability is limited as to a 2 el 40-CD2 at 48 ft. It may be arriving at a high angle because I don't see s strong F/B and see very little fading. It's a very steady, solid S7-S8 on an Orion 2, preamp off. On my K8AY loops, it's marginally stringer when I select either NW or SW, but the nulls in the K9AY loop patterns are far more narrow than the peaks (they have a cardioid pattern) and the deepest *null* is in NE direction, meaning the null is somewhere  to my W or SW. Regardless, it's certainly there, steady and strong. I'll check again tonight.

73,
