        Wow!  The SES-80 looks like a revolutionary low band antenna.  It
appears to be two small center-loaded phased vertical dipoles, so it must
work like a rotatable EWE.  It probably has an extremely broad front pattern
so you could place the 25 dB null off the back on the offending noise source
and not suffer much degradation to signals from the general direction of
the front.  Imagine also what you could do with several of these phased
together!  I suppose the 160 version might be on a 40 foot boom with 30 
foot elements unless they scale it down.

        The exact Web page for it is http://www.qth.com/titanex/ses.html.
Congratulations to Titanex for another contribution to low band antennas!
