Frank, For any hope at all of working DX you need a vertical transmit.... A top loaded <whatever you can stand up> will work better than any dipole, by magnitudes... I predict that if you try to do topband dxing with that dipole you will taking up photography or model airplanes before spring comes... I sepnt 20 years on a tiny city lot... I have tried everything known to man, invented a few unknown antennas even, and the cheapy vertical with the 60 very short radials (all I could manage) was the only thing that worked... Denny |
