Default Dipoles, why height matters

I've also run dipoles - I got WAS on 75 meters from Iowa with an
inverted VEE running from 50' to near ground. And I had a strong signal
on the Iowa 75M SSB net.


Perhaps you can get all the antenna manufacturers to specify their
antennas in terms of signal reports and QSL cards instead of those
useless numbers like gain and pattern.
