They can get that from a 40 ft. high G5RV. No 7' high
NVIS dipole is needed. AND you can work DX on 20m-10m
with that 40 ft. high G5RV. I repeat, the majority of
hams are NOT interested *only* in local communications
on HF. A 7' high dipole is a poor performer on 20m-10m.


Cecil, since I started this thread with a comment on yours, in retrospect
I will admit what you say above is true! My comment applied to a small
particular group of operators on the lower bands (or is that higher bands?)

The top band is considered to be 160m so I assume "band" is
associated with wavelength, e.g. "160m band". So it appears
that higher bands = lower frequencies, but I could be wrong.
The IEEE Dictionary is no help. It thinks a "band" is a
track on a rotating memory device. :-)
