Ok  - that might be correct - problem is that I have been unable to work the short skip to G/GW/OY since I got the OB9-5 up  ;) that must be the CDX then!

Your "feeling" about angle of radiation is WRONG -- angle of radiation of a horizontal antenna is determined entirely by mounting height and your terrain. Any difference in performance is the result of efficiency and the antenna's design. Your other comments make sense. :)
