As a matter of interest, I just did an A/B comparison between
my 80m dipole and my 20m rotatable dipole. The guy in CA
couldn't tell any difference in transmitted signal levels
and I couldn't tell any difference in received signal levels.
In other words, in four directions, my 130ft dipole works
just as well on 20m as my resonant 20m rotatable dipole.

Cecil,
Now all you have to do is get everyone to move so
that they are in one of those four directions from you.

With a fixed resonant dipole, you only get two directions. :-)

That's simply untrue. But I guess that's what the smiley face means?

Yep, *two* major lobes with a fixed resonant dipole. With a 130 ft.
dipole on 20m, I get two times or three times as many lobes. :-)

Cecil,
Since mine isn't at the 'optimum' height, I hear
stuff from all around me.
