"I would opt for an NVIS style antenna which will blow that yagi away inside
1000 miles"
-Dallas W3PP"
Dallas I hate to cut the your e-mail apart but I seen this from a devout
contesterf inwhich I look up to and know that I too have NVIS antennas. I have
a very low G5RV it is about at 20Ft tall. I only have one though I thought
about putting up another in the opposite direction. What I have noticed from
being at my station, a ed station, and a multi such as K8CC where he has a 40M
beam is that if you are working a stateside contest the wires work quite well
though if you are in a DX contest they such and you might be able to use a
titan DX or a verticle but best bets are that a beam is best. I have noticed
that many winners of Nov SS and the state QSO parties are using plane old wires
on 40M. The only thing I would like is to get rid of that intererence from the
SWL stations HIHI. I am interested if you can give me detail on your 2EL NVIS.
Note- after being on 40M and 80M most rag chewers think that your wire be
like high up in the air. They are usually within a few states of each other.
