The first night when the midwest started to build up I anticipated the
arrival of the W1s.  What happened?  The midwest then got weaker.  The
second night it was worse.  I worked only one W1 (AA1AA)!

I found how to use the JPS ANC-4 to real advantage.  I used my JA beverage
as a noise pickup antenna, with an appropriate input attenuator.  It really
made a big difference when listening on other antennas and other beverages.
