Topband: Low Dipoles

I don't think anyone believes you are lying, but perhaps instead, that
you seem to imply that your experience can be generalized and that you
are therefore, misguided.  This is because your results run counter to
decades of experience and observations by countless others when it
comes to antennas and 160 meters.  I invite you to come to the middle
of North America, Nebraska let's say, and set up the exact same
antenna in a rural location and report how it performs after a full
winter operating season.

Merry Xmas
