S.T.W.


I would have to run the wires down the face of the cliff to make one of
those. Using NEC I just don't know how to simulate the ground effects
when the land falls away at a 30-50 degree angle. At one place there
is a 60 ft shear verticle drop. My unterminated beverage off the cliff
headed East works well on receive but it is terrible on transmit.
