     Ok, so no low angle signals for DX on 160 and 80, correct?
     How far from the sea do you have to be to get low angle?
     If this is correct why donīt we use high angle radiators?
     I mean., if it isnīt low angle it must be high, or what am
     I missing here?

     PS: This is no thinking from my side, itīs what Iīve found out
     mainly on 80 and a little bit on 160. Sure no professional
     measurements just pure amateur experimentation with
     antennas but if there is no low angle for DX on 80/160 Iīm
     totaly out in the blue so please explain this further to me.
