Fair enough - good point. Gary I'm sorry but that is like asking why would anyone spend so much more for electricity to run ham radios instead of a cell phone! Many people here in Maine use grow ligh

Yes - I used a F12 Magnum in AZ at 136' and now here in SC at 144'.... it doesn't play particularly well on 160 RX. The Hi-Z is much better. That stated occasionally I'll hear DX quite nicely on it .

15? Skewed? That would be quite a rarity. Most of the time signals on all bands are direct with skew propagation being more common on the lower bands and usually only at transition points - i.e. sunr

nope! I'm in a limited space location, I'm looking for a wire antenna to use on 40-10 meters. The handbook says a 40m dipole fed with ladder line will be 2 half waves in phase on 20, and have 1.8 db
