I find that my 600 to 1000 ft terminated beverages are quite capable.
Clearly, if someone doesn't the room, then other options need to be
explored.  But the front to back ratio and SNR of my 1000 ft beverage to
Europe is nothing short of amazing when it comes to hearing.  Even with
1.5kW on 80 and 160M, I sometimes hear surprise in the voice of the EU
station calling me that I can actually hear them Q5.
