It is a truism

I have WAS on 75 SSB (from Iowa) with an inverted Vee. The top was only 50' in the air. And late at night in the wintertime I had pretty solid communications over much of the continental U.S. (back in the late 70's and early 80's). Antennas NEVER work "as predicted" - and anyone who claims they do does not understand antenna operation. Antennas 'always' work as predicted. People just don't always factor in everything in the prediction. Just as I worked a station on 432 MHz with 25 watts to a 1/4 wave ground plane that was about 1000 miles away. Nice bit of tropo that day. I bet I could put up a g5rv at 30 feet on some rare country and get loads of 5/9 signals no mater how many times the calls had to be repeatd. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
