[TowerTalk] Inverted Vees

[Wes]

My RX antenna is my TX vertical too. Conventional wisdom says you "have" to have 
a receiving antenna and a vertical TX antenna to work DX.  I worked my first 80 
countries or so with an inverted-vee, 45-feet high at the apex and ends about 6' 
high.  Then I installed a 55' inverted-L and worked another 60 or so.  Am I a 
top gun?  No, but my goal of 9-band DXCC from one location is achieved.
