I bet this is because they actually have an antenna that radiates
signal and not an antenna that loads great but turns all the RF into
heat? Getting a full sized anything on 160 has to be better than some
of real estate challenged antennas out there.
and it is much easier to work amazing amounts of DX when you are on the
east coast of the USA instead of buried in the middle of the country.
I dont understand the sudden urge or desire of some to suppress all high
angle radiation
from an inverted L. It is well established that even a low horizontal
dipole
can work amazing amounts of DX on 160 when conditions allow and having both
possibilities present in the L is a benefit.
