Lee,
Remember who you are trying to work! From the middle of the US (Kansas) I
would think a simple bi-directional dipole would be better. This is NOT a
DX contest and those verticals ARE low angle radiators and vertically
polarized (summer noise).
We are trying a 2 element wire beam fixed about 315 +/- degrees. Our FD QTH
is about 7 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico and about 55 miles east of the
western most part of Florida. Not much behind us and 2 elements does not
preclude working them off the back of the beam. 2 elements is broad enuff
to work em all.
Suggest using the verticals to support that dipole north-south.

Christine Jorgenson? Isn't that the GI who went abroad, and
came back a broad?
