For me in lower MI about half of the states are between, 200 to 600
miles. Extend that to 800 miles and it's nearly 3/4.
Except for Ca the major # of hams is under 700 miles. Max stateside is
the west coast at 2000 miles. That means several antennas for distance
to the W and SW Typically F/B is more important than gain, but I need
short, medium and long distance from SW to W NW if we include Alaska
and that's a bit more at 3000 to abt 3300 miles. IE: farther than
Greenland, or Iceland It'd be a great multiplier, but few contacts.

400 km (250 miles) is hardly a definition of "domestic contesting,"
where one wants to work all states and provinces.

I also have my Dad's old rigs, which are also the first ones I ever

use these to occasionally play with AM with some relatively local
guys (within about 400 km).
