Quite a dud morning up until around 1400UTthen things started to fizz. (a domestic of note with North Korean style modulation was on 1110 splattering all around it as it came on at 1430UT) pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):

A dreary band in the predawn darkness was rescued somewhat by a potent sunrise enhancement boost after 1400, bringing the usual Japanese and Korean big guns up to respectable levels, and several second-tier Asians out of the noise.   Around 1305 the Asians were anemic indeed, with only

I think Mark has it 100% right. The Beverage actually has best gain straight up while the DKAZ is down maybe 7-10 dB at overhead angles. Chuck To: irca@hard-core-dx.com From: irca@hard-core-dx.com CC: markwa1...@aol.com Subject: [IRCA] Beverage versus DKAZ (was: TP for 20 October from Masset)

Actually a Bev has best gain straight up from directions perpendicular (+/- 90 deg) to the main beam. I'd not expect that a good comparison could be made comparing an antenna at 300 deg vs one at 220 deg. That being said, a 700 ft BOG is a very good antenna and I'd expect its more narrow beam

Thanks, Gary for pasting Mark's comments. I agree that the answer has to be with the angle of arrival. The vertical component must quickly die off up here at dawn. This, however did not seem to be the case in Grayland. As I recall, John Bryant experimented with the 2 array delta Wellbrooks and
