I noticed that some of the DXpeditions are using vertical diipoles next to the 
sea on at least some of the higher bands ( I am guessing 20 and up).  I stuffed 
the data into EZNEC 5.0 and came up with some suprising results, hope I did it 
correctly I am not an antenna guru . Now as Tom has just indicated modeling is 
great but its only modeling it doesnt really tell what happens in the real 
world/ground conditions etc. 
Does anyone have any real world experience with these dipoles?  Do they work in 
non beach environments such as near the mountians? Comments welcome... and I am 
willing to take the comments off list if it suits you. 
If this is not a fools folley I will put together what I find suprising and put 
it on my web site for everyone to access but I dont to take the time to 
document it if its a waste of time.
