[TowerTalk] re Radials

Bill:  You are probably not a dx hound.  Lowering the angle is 
EVERYTHING to many of us.  I agree dipoles at less than 1/2 wave high 
are excellent for close in work and when the dx arrival angles are 
high.  They will not compete well when the angles are low.  Ideally we 
have both in our arsenal and use whichever is the better antenna at the 
moment.  Me, for my operating interest if I had to choose but one it 
would be a good vertical.  I use my horizontal 80 meter antenna less 
than 5% of the time I'm on 80. 73 bob de w9ge
