Good score Ben! Having to turn your beam sounds like backscatter. I often turn the beam west to work the Right Coasters on the high bands. Weak sigs, but get the eastern state mults that are impossible to hear when I beam direct. Try to time those calls for when they are calling CQ without any answers for a while. They're more likely to try and dig me out of the noise that way.

SO1R!  Fun contest. Strange prop, had to use the 'side' of the beam
by pointing
to NW to work the east coast stations.
