vert vs dipole gut comparison

Oops, lest some nitpicker jump in, I should have said "surface wave", not "ground wave". And I probably should have included a "usually" while I was at it. -- *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** Nitpicker alert: 1. You should have not limited the "NO" to HF. Six meters is also a "NO" for ionospheric skip. 2. Polarity of the signal for ground wave (not surface or space wave) is indeed important. Vertical polarization works best. Horizontal is rapidly attenuated. Bill, W6WRT |
