Hehehe.. It's not all that bad, I can assure you... Years and years with successful aurora, meteorscatter and eme-operations have proved that. Take-off to the north is excellent, to the south I guess it's 2 degrees or so. South-east and west is worst, with about 10-13 degrees. It's no worse than that I work JP52QQ regularly (south-east, 100km) on 2m with 599 signals. So - I better look for improvements elsewhere... --Magne
