Operation on 40m during a statewide exercise left me wondering why more stations weren't hearing me. WSPR net operation the next morning showed responses from Japan (2) Indonesia and western Australia! I rechecked my EZNEC model for the antenna and found there was a strong lobe straight west, with most other directions down 5-6 db. OK, look out, DX to the west, hi!
