- I know this has been discussed before, but mostly in the context of verticals in heavily wooded areas. I am wondering if anyone has thoughts on having just a couple of trees very close to a vertical

- You might also add 1) The very nice antenna systems of some big 160 stations. Take a look at the links for K9DX and N6RO, for example. 2) It's worth running HFTA on your site. 3) The high noise level

- The counter argument to that, Eddy, is that although a metal tower can distort the pattern, it won't neccessarily convert a large portion of TX power into heat, whereas anything that is a lossy condu
