I had hoped to give a few DX QSO in this SP, but conditions are just horrible. The storm static has been epic all weekend, and signals are pretty ordinary. I did try calling a few stations in NA arou

Yes, the antenna modelling is helpful, but by no means definitive. Several years ago I put up a top loaded vertical over a very limited buried radial field, 16 x 20 m. It worked, but nothing exciting
