I’ll always remember doing a DXped with Nick, Bruce Portzer and others at Sombrio beach near Jordan River... on Vancouver Island - in 1979 or 1980 1000+ feet Beverages pointed across the Pacific... TP’s still being received 2 hours after sunrise... Aussies swamping locals... good times...

Thanks Tim. That makes more sense, though it is interesting that you would hear 4QD on a north facing antenna, though I guess 4QD might still just be in the forward lobe of the DKaz. Perhaps it's just that the BOGs don't work as well "over the shoulder" at the higher frequencies. best wishes
