    N0AX and I have published an HF vertical antenna comparison report where 
we tested 8 verticals on the air. The 60 page report contains the testing 
protocol, data sets, and summaries and is available from  <A 
HREF="http://www.championradio.com";>www.championradio.com</A>. That'll get 
you started.
