While I expected good S/N performance from the 8 circle array vs. a
conventional Beverage, the most remarkable thing is the absolute signal
levels delivered (and as compared to noise) by the 8 circle array. The
signal levels recorded by the array as compared to the Beverage on the EY8MM
path are almost astonishing. I would guess a QSO might have never happened
with the Beverage (well, maybe around 0321z), where the 8 circle array would
be arm chair copy the entire 29 minutes of the recording. . . amazing.
