Hi Stefan,
      Yes my TX antenna has a deep null to the South, so no copy in
Venezuela. The antenna is 152 meters of RG214/U coaxial cable
suspended by trees 30 meters high, not easily rotated!   I have
another Decca final amp and would like to build a combiner to gain an
additional 3dB but right now my HF/VHF projects are taking priority.
