73 KAZ Barrington IL Perseus and Broadside Double KAZ Array spaced 260 ft at 90 deg
I turned my Double KAZ around to null west and aim east by simply switching the ends that the feed xfmr and resistor are on. Now I have typically 30 dB nulls to the west and all that came in due west of me last night were KXEL and WHO and both of them are knocked way down about 30 dB below normal and QRMed at times. The west was nulled so well, that even though I could see lightning to the distant west, I barely had any static from it.
If weather cooperates I'll turn the other antenna around so I can use them as an array aiming due east. Of course line noise is an issue aiming at the powerlines, but last night seemed OK.

And many others that didn't stay around long enough for an ID. TuneIn radio on the Android helped for some, but unfortunately unlike the radio waves, geo-blocking doesn't let many feeds across the border.

870 WIJR IL Shelbyville - 5/11 1438 - Weak in KWPC splash (and using USB option on my receiver) with lots of southern gospel songs off the Here's Help Radio Network. Long ID at 1458 mentioned every station on the network, including WIJR. (RD-IA)
960 WABG MS Greenwood - 5/10 2219 - Fair with "WABG" heard in liner after blues ballad. KMA took over with Kansas City Royals BB about a minute later. (RD-IA)
1020 KMMQ NE Plattsmouth - 5/11 1422 - Fair in WPEO null with regional Mexican music and "La Nueva Diez Biente Ah Emmay" ID. Caught a mention of "Omaha" at 1432. First time ever heard at this QTH -- in the old days, it was just WPEO alone on this channel in the daytime. (RD-IA)
1250 WGL IN Fort Wayne - 4/26 2216 - Fair with ad mentioning URL "lawyersonthesquare.com" and including a phone # in the 260 area code, then got an ID of "AM 1250 The River". Not new, but not the most common station on 1250 at this QTH. (RD-NE)

Started listening at 2358 only loud UNID country (George Jones Two Dollar Pistol (who that? )) but faded by TOH. No CW or tones for the DX Test. Possibly a sweep at 0003.
Did anyone catch a sweeper at 0018:00? Sounded like a ham tuning up, if that makes any sense.
EDIT: Just caught CW @0029!

1450 WKAL NY Rome 5-5 0100-0130 NOT HEARD. Had hrd Nora Jones song, You Send Me/Platters at :08, Tijuana Brass song @:24, though all are hardly big band, but might be "nostalgaia" by today's definitions, I guess. No codes though I have "possible at :09" written down. That isn't enough, hi. unn WDLB-WI popped thru @:27. Slept thru 3 alarms for 0000-0030 effort. Quite nice cx though. Thanx to all involved.
