Notice how at 0151 , when I first saw your 40M CQ, I was 245 off.  I
waited until you came around again at 0153 , clicked on the left most
part of your signal on the SpecJT and had you at -5, much better.  

Now take a look at the next QSO you had...

020600 10  -11       -13  3   73

I am decoding you at -5 DF and N5BA at -13 , I never did try to get
closer to him.  When there is a pile up and you are not sure whether
the RO or RRR is to you or someone esle near by, check the DF when you
received a line with the call sign you are working.  Note the DF then,
if you see an RRR or RO that is from a vastly different DF, then
chances are you are getting someone else's RO/RRR and not the one you
need.   

Good work on 40M tonight.
