My little F12 C3 beam was turned around toward Indonesia/
Malasia!  So no gain to the mainland EXCEPT on 17 meters
where the C3 has a bit of gain in the reverse direction on 17;
with the beam swung more to the mainland,  I hear some
signals,  CW,  on both 20 and 15 meters from the Biggest
Island far to our East,  hi.
