Hi Tom, Did you ever try anything with that NVIS antenna. I think I am
going to put up one permanent in back yard, turn the RV into my ham

No, not yet. Not enough time. I do plan on it though, thanks.
Possibly this coming spring.

I first discovered NVIS of sorts although I didnt know what it was
called back in the early 70s with 11M radio. I found that a homemade
1.25 wl antenna would often work areas during skip conditions that
were different from my 5/8 wl antenna. Some were in the neighborhood
of 100 miles away which was unusual for a CB. Normally you couldnt
hear anything from 30 miles out to about 300. After 300 you could pick
up skip signals.
