Yes I am. In general it works better than the vertical, even on
stations that are way out of the beam. I think it's a question of
impedance match and should really try tuning the vertical to see what it
will do. One thing I do have is lots and lots and lots of QRM from
local BC stations when I use the vertical. At times that's so bad that
I even use the beam for listening on 75M! Low gain but a lot less
noisy. Of course, it doesn't exactly work for transmitting on that
frequency!
