And the same on HF. Working pile up is a lot easier in the contest when you have two antennas beaming different directions and 2 RX on the same frequency. In our case EU signals on the western antenna are in the left ear and JA/Pacific signals are in the right ear. Since both receivers have independent AGC strong EU signals do not offset AGS on the eastern antenna and allow one to hear weak signals from Pacific DX stations in the pile up.
