Well I can tell you how it works against a KLM 2 element at 140'. I got
my butt kicked! NQ4I just put up a 2 ele at 140' and we compared signals
last Friday night. Generally he was 10-15 db better than me. I think
conditions last Friday night were down and I hope that Rick and I can do
more tests in the future. I will pass on my results here.
Also, K3LR just put up a 3el M2 (forget the height) fixed to Europe. If
memory serves, Tim said it was 1 s-unit better than the 4-square to
Europe both on RX and TX. Maybe Tim will give more details.
