[TowerTalk] 40 meter vertical ant

[peter.voelpel]

And its main advantage is 5-7db groundgain. 
With my dipol at 100´and sloping ground I always outperform on transmit a
guy with a 2L-quad at 20m 150km away.

I have modeled this scenario and if I remember correctly, the dipole has a
slightly lower radiation angle which should be better for long haul DX.  It
is also much easier to install since you don't need radials.
