Art, did you intend to compare a 'CLOUD WARMER' against an 'OVER THE
HORIZON' class of antenna? Isn't that apples and oranges?

BTW, who limits Beverages to received ONLY? There are some very long
Beverages in VK land for long haul low band DX.

So I just designed an antenna with a computor program for 160 metres based
around a patent write up of mine which probably will not be issued until
sometime next year.
The beam is rotatable and is at a height of
20 metres. The max gain is 7.35 dbi at 87degrees. Minimum gain at this TOA
is a few db less. Compared to another antenna, and that is what you are
doing, the gain exceeds a Beverage at any angle over 10 degrees even if the
beverage was rotatable.
Unlike the Beverage the antenna can be used for transmitting.
