Default Antennas - Is NVIS a good thing?



Using a NVIS antenna will severely limit the number of stations which can be
contacted.

Well, maybe and then again, maybe not.

During SS weekends I temporarily rig a very low 75M dipole (25 feet up) to snag
the "close in" mults like WI, IA, MB, etc. It's not NVIS per se, but the idea
is to get a high take-off angle.

Out here in flyover country it's simply a mult-catcher, but in a dense
population area (like the east coast or Ohio valley), having an NVIS choice on
the antenna switch can be a great advantage.
