Steer... QSO... Repeat

I found a nifty circle map site to help me steer my beam to interesting parts on the globe - http://www.qsl.net/vk9ml/2002/beam_vancouver.htm

Vancouver is close enough to work. Just this evening I oriented to 250 deg line and caught VK3AKK out of Victoria, Australia. Couldn't navigate the pileup (I blame my antenna height), but even at 6 ft off the ground I was receiving his signal at 5/4. Pretty cool.

I will try some other bearings tomorrow.
