It's more than antennas. There's also propagation. You're 700 miles ESE
of me, which gives you a path to EU over less of the auroral zone.
AND there's noise, which has been increasing over time. My first years
in W6 were more productive for CW on Topband than now -- I have a dozen
or so countries in the log from the solar minimum of those earlier years.

Roger is in my logbook, along with at least five other "G" stations. My
station is described on my QRZ page. I receive on the TX antenna.
