Topband: Effect of current max not at base of vertical.

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

Totally anecdotal, but from 19 to 7 years ago I lived in a "cedar swamp" 
(what I called it) about 30' ASL and did much better on 160m with a small 
antenna system, than I do here now @ 660'ASL on a rocky hill. (almost no top 
layer soil at all).......
Same antenna system.

As always, YMMV
