Well part of the discussion has been why not 1/4 wave high since you gain some lower angle performance without losing any high angle. If one thinks about it in terms of low noise *receive* and doesn't need the lower angle - that's why.

Hello Steve:

Yes it is NVIS. This is not a DX antenna! It's only purpose is for the WPA
section and PA statewide nets.

It is good for daytime communications out several hundred miles and really
good in close.

Tim,

You were obviously going for best high angle *RX* capability, which
requires attenuation of all low angle (i.e. static) reception. Truly a
specialized antenna.
