Hello! Tried more time on CQ this time and tried to keep the beam as minute hand pointed during CQ, ie North at 0 minutes, East a quarter past, South at half hours etc. Managed to roughly keep it with a few exceptions. On pick and punch I turn the opposite direction. Will try it for a while, and stick to it if it works well in the long run. Just a few OZ and one OH, but a few ES stations made the evening nice. See you on 70 next week!
