Subject: Re: [Amps] new amp race / antenna take-off angle
<Precisely correct Peter!
If the HF antenna lobe take-off angle is fortuitously optimal for enabling a
given DX hop path then QRP Tx power will wing it!
No amount of Tx power or Rx sensitivity / SNR will compensate if this sweet
spot in the prevailing ephemeral propagation path is missed...

## Both VK land + germany have a 10 meter... aka 33 foot height limit. That
now effectively
just destroyed amateur radio. I dont know what take off angle you are
blathering on about leigh.
At just 33 ft with your height restriction.... the only angle you are gonna
have is either straight up...
or into the side of you neigbours home. 33 ft will not clear anything, and
is 100% ineffective.
Utility poles around na are typ 40 ft high, with the hv wire another 1.5 ft
above that. The typ home,
with its well grounded chicken mesh, just beneath the stucco. Toss in your
400 watt useless ..legal
limit, and you are doomed to failure.
