We listened all night long during a 160m contest to stations in
all directions, near and far. The vee never compared to the vertical.
It may be, that once in a while, the vee would have been useful,
although I never observed that; but this test convinced me that
if I had to pick one of the other (for transmit), I would take
the vertical any day.
The vee (any vee, even a 40 meter vee) is better on receive
than any vertical, at my QTH.
