This would explain why the vertical would work into GA,Fl, VA, from NC
but not into a station in SC less than 100 miles away.

On what band? That would be pretty normal on 20 meters.

Sorry its been years since its been in use. I was on a gov shortwave freq
and I dont remember. Normally we answered a net that was being controlled
from Atlanta. I had always assumed we couldnt here the station in SC because
of its antenna orientation but after I had a chance to visit the station I
realized there pattern should have been pretty much omni=directional.
