[TowerTalk] Tower location and house noise

[Ed Sawyer]

It was a bet - not a claim.

 

Resonant Verticals that don't pick up more noise than a resonant inverted
vee are a strange animal.  If the losses are indeed low (what measurement
have you done to verify that?) - you should consider marketing it.

Why would you make such wild baseless assumptions, Ed? The antenna sits on a
decent  ground  radial system (originally built for a 160m inverted

L) and has a remote tuner at the base.  It performs well for DX.
