[TenTec] OT: Question to the group -tuner and dipoles

[Carl Moreschi]

I'm not saying it is good to have a low antenna,  I'm just saying a low 
dipole is efficient in terms of how much power it radiates, but is is 
just in the wrong direction.

My particular interest right now is a good antenna for the new 475 khz 
band that is coming.  I have a 1000 foot dipole at 50 feet and it shows 
an excellent load at 475 khz.  My belief is this antenna will be more 
efficient even at a 20 degree takeoff angle than a 50 foot vertical that 
has a very large and inefficient loading coil and radials.
