Everyone's antenna limitations are different. I have no place where I 
could rotate an RX antenna like yours, or rig any of the RX arrays. 
Neither could Garry. We both live in very dense redwood forests. It's 
also a LOT easier to work a lot of countries on 160M from anywhere 
around the Atlantic basin than it is from anywhere in North America 
around the Pacific. It's like running home from third base and thinking 
you've hit a home run.
