Jim, I can tell you that during the contest the aurora was extremely
intense at latitude 65 deg north. With that type of conditions I find
myself being beaten by a lot of QRP stations despite the fact that I am
using a stack and a kw. Especially on 15/10 mtrs. Frustrating... :-)
So, it is not always antennas, conditions differ a lot with
latitude/longitude.
