Agree with Jim, Eric hears me when most others have their "ears" super
glued
to EU and never change directions.
The best station I have ever worked was K9DX when he had up his arrays
and remote
set ups, he would hear me before my sunset and come back with the
transmit array
my direction with S9 signals,
I dont know how he switched receive arrays but he could be working EU
and with my one
call come back to my weak signal. I could call an hour and others
would never listen
this direction.
I have heard a thousand excuses as to why etc, but it all comes down to
operator
ability, so kudos to these guys who have the hardware and know how to
use it.

What I have found to work well
Pay attention to everything Eric says, and take a look at his web page
showing his RX antenna farm. Eric consistently has the best ears on
the band! In the 4-5 years I've been working QRP on 160M, only once
has Eric failed to hear me, and he usually hears me within the first
15-20 seconds that I begin calling. And I'm nearly always in the
direction opposite from the dominant opening to his QTH. He's the only
guy that far east I can work mid-evening -- for everyone else, I must
wait for late evening and sunrise openings.
