The top-loaded vertical configuration wins every time for DX and local
ground-wave contacts; the dipole configuration regularly wins for inter-G.

On average I would work 30 to 35 countries with this setup, whereas when
trying to run it as a dipole, properly matched with a symmetrical tuner, I
was lucky to manage 10 countries.
