There are antenna designs that radiate most of their power skyward, high
angle, for short range comms.. I can't recall the name at the moment.

Hi Bert.

That's a great link. Very informative. I've always thought an extremly high
angle of radiation would be a great local talk tool but I've never tried
anything to test that theory (damned apartment complex rules). The artical
says 200 miles radius +/- 100. I wonder what it would be like on 11 meters.
Anyone here try that on 10?

Thanks again.
