He is right. Might as well sell your gear and take up stamp collecting if
you can't put up a full sized 4-square with 5 miles of radials.
I have found out that any antenna will work DX, some just better than
others. A vertical works better than a low dipole, a beam is better than a
vertical, a stack is better than a beam--it is all relative. Just put it up
and have fun, that is the main thing. 73
