Here is the K0RF 15m rate (6 el yagi at 80') vs the W0UN 15m rate (28 el stack).
Of course I have no way of comparing the operators but you can see the
difference the antennas seemed to make between Saturday and Sunday. Hope
this is of some interest.

Looks like George was really kicking my butt on Saturday morning for the
first few hours. Maybe started running out of new stations to work and
that allowed me to catch up some??? No comment necessary about Sunday :-(.
K0RF's yagi it sitting on the edge of a dropoff toward EU. Perhaps a 100'
dropoff at about a 45 degree angle.
