This morning, I had my JA beverage in one ear and the TX phased array in the other. If a weaker guy called from the east - I would have to switch the beverage antenna to copy him. With the TX antenna - I could generally hear if someone was calling. Makes it easy to give priority to a JA calling - since it shows up in a different place in my head.
