I agree! After using the arrangement at NQ4I's on 20m/15m/10m, the short 
beam pointing around 160-170 degrees is great! Allows you to pick up 
those carribean / south american stations without having to turn anything.

Unfortunately, it isn't really an option with a 50 foot tower.

Hmm. Maybe I could feed the boom or something....
