Hi Joel,
My W5ZN/N4HY/W8JI passive 8-circle array really shines during
this changeable and often spotty propagation from VP8STI. Its
consistently significantly better than my south Beverage and
4-square transmitting array, typically solid copy when the other
two antennas are suffering QSB into the noise.
My listening was cut short after I worked VP8STI during their
first night of 160 meter operation. I had picked a random
transmitting frequency (3 up) immediately after they stopped
directional CQs to Europe and I nearly jumped out of my skin
when they answered my first call.
Sometimes its better to be lucky than good.

For those who may be new to 160 (and you old dogs as well), or have not
read his material, Carl K9LA offers some very good insight to 160 meter
propagation, including the spotlight topic.
k9la.us is the site, click on the 160 meter tab.
I like to read his 160 meter prop papers just before each "season" as a
refresher.
