The first night when the midwest started to build up I anticipated the
arrival of the W1s. What happened? The midwest then got weaker. The
second night it was worse. I worked only one W1 (AA1AA)!
I found how to use the JPS ANC-4 to real advantage. I used my JA beverage
as a noise pickup antenna, with an appropriate input attenuator. It really
made a big difference when listening on other antennas and other beverages.
