Yep, I guess you could call me biased...I'd even take this farther and speculate that the dipole even at a half wave "65 ft on 40m" would have trouble beating the elevated vertical I had on long paths. But, Mark, you are neglecting physical efficiency. Divide the performance by the amount of metal required for each antenna and see what you get. :-) My dipole uses 1/2WL of wire. Your vertical uses how many wavelengths of wire? -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
