What stands out for me is the audio improvement.


Only very high Q antennas should noticeably effect audio.
Comparing a dipole to say a turnstile, you should notice
no real difference at all.


I have though that also, but I have noticed that on 75 meters there
sometimes seems to be a differance in the voice of the other station when I
switch from my off center fed antenna at 50 feet and a dipole at 20 feet.
This is when signals are around the same on either antanna. Around the s-9
point. I am using an Icom 746pro and an external switch to change the
antennas.
