That's because the DX noise is coming from the same direction as the
desired signal so there's not enough parallax to work with.
BTW: Lightening is usually impusle rather than plasma noise
and your blanker should deal with that.

Bingo on both counts. The NB does a decent job on the lightning, but
on the R75, it is not quite as broad in its powers as it could be. Not
bad, but not perfect. Luckily, or maybe unfortunately, lightning isn't
*usually* the worst noise I have to deal with at this QTH.
