There's been talk about how to position a ULR to null stations. I find holding it in a variety of ways does a variety of things. Most successful most of the time is almost flat. It also helps to walk around. Find hot spots. Take it outdoors, perhaps find a way to get to a quiet spot away from electrical wires and such. You can bet I'll take this thing if I ever go canoe-tripping or backwoods hiking/camping! Or to a quiet oceanfront or lakefront beach at night. This will be useful on DXpeditions, which I dedicate a lot of time for my FM DX. (I don't see these yet as good for FM. I will assess that when the e-skip season starts this May. I also don't see it as a tropo performer for FM. I'm lucky enough to get relatively strong semi-locals. Then, again, maybe for the backpacker deep in the woods, or a traveller. Certianly the sound quality on FM is quite decent.
