Good morning, Jack.

Well, that's not entirely true I don't think ... it's probably true
enough when referring to a physically-short antenna that you're trying
to extend well beyond its range, but I have a 160-meter inverted vee
fed with an open wire line that works very, very well on 160 through
10 (haven't tried it on 6 yet because my manual tuner won't go that
far).

Thanks for the eham.net link, I'll check it out.
