that's curious; i do the same thing w my simple 4sq; esp w locals, hi
 in the am bcb...pretty cool when my Flex Rx will read in dbm, to 0.1 dbm...

since WWV is almost exactly NW from here, it too is also a handy
 reference...when i'm not hearing anything and wondering, 'is this
 thing working or broken?'...( it's usually working...)

73, w5xz, dan

It was simply a matter of comparing the signal levels from the two closest
directions, taking a quick look at the 8 circle pattern, and making a good
guess at the bearing.  I did not use any precise measurements.  In this case
the signal level was very close to equal between West and Northwest.  In the 
case several months (maybe a year or so ago) about the BC transmitter that 
had a spur which a group of us DFd (can't remember who did the 
triangulating) I used the same technique to arrive very close to the correct 
bearing on the EC.  In this case the signal levels were not equal, so taking 
a quick look at the antenna pattern and a little interpolating, I could take 
a fairly good guess at the bearing of the station out on the east coast 
(can't remember now where it was . ..Philly area maybe?).   No real magic. . 
hi.

Hi Lee,

Congrats to Dave he does hear well. I have a question, how is Dave able to
resolve bearings less than 45 degrees using a stick 8 circle? Magic?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks,
Dave K4SV
