	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!
