Larry,
I simply can't put it any better than Bud, K4ISV's, recent e-mail:
"Can you imagine a fisherman going out with only one bait?"
At W3LPL we have M A N Y antennas and one of them will often give us the
edge in a competitive situation. The Beverages work extremely well
through noise and pileups, and the 160M 4-square is also a fabulous
antenna. Since the Beverage farm is over 1000 ft from the
transmitting antennas, they also us to receive and transmit
simulataneously, a significant operational advantage for a
multi-operator contest station.
