What effect would explain the " better for DX"?
Less Noise - Increased signal - Both?

Also what frequency did your tower resonate at?

Getting ready to try the shunt fed tower thing here
on 80.

Terry, I have both vertical (shunt fed tower) and horizontal (loops,
dipoles) antennas for 40, 80, and 160 -- and find that the dipoles work
better for the local QSOs and the verticals work better for DX. Do
whatever
you can to get the tower as high as possible. My son had an old CB 102"
