I've zeroed in a little more closely on W3CRA's
location and added an HFTA analysis of his location.
"Given Frank's assumed location, here is the HFTA analysis. Indeed the
blue plot below shows gain of >12 dB over an identical antenna over flat
terrain (red plot) at angles <4 degrees, which are quite common for
long-haul Asian paths. Of course this would not necessarily be a good
contest location since paths to more populated areas like Europe are
typically at much higher angles where a properly designed stack would work
better."
