    I have some questions - not about what you've typed so far, which has been incredibly clear and easy to follow - but a bit about the availability of hardware used for DF... I'd like to wait to ask, though, in case there's more you want to add... not sure if you were done or just tired for the night. Thanks again, OSFG.
    Ask away MG, I may not be able to answer right away...but plenty of saavy folks here who can. They are more likely to be able to give you better advice in your scenario, as my experience is more based on what I had on my back or readily at hand in a foreign land.

    You went last. You saw what DIDN'T work. And you realized you needed to throw the box away. Sometimes being lucky is better than being smart. Not always, but sometimes.
    BAH FUCKING HUMBUG!

    Another way of DF'ing is Time distance of arrival (TDOA), which focuses on Phase shift across a couple or more antennas. This involves some additional electronics on the antennas, but is something you can build if you have some skills. It is a much more effective at DF'ing with weak or strong signals because it doesn't really care about the power...just the phase of the wave it sees.

    I may pick this up later on, cause I gotta go check out of my hotel and get back out in the desert.

    here is a good link on that:

    Well in truth I went 4th...The last guy went right after me, but didn't change up from his buddies from the first three runs....But your point is valid, I learned and wasn't afraid to try something different. The last guy just stuck with what normally would have worked fine.

    Sounds like fun. At least it's warm (er) than here.
    Watch out for scorpions and rattlers!

    Or are you helping Inor today?

    Thanks, actually your posts here today answered my questions pretty much, especially that vid. I have a lot to say but will do it over in my Listening thread so as not to derail this. Thanks again & stay safe.
