Don't sell those "simple" antennas short - I have 5BDXCC, 187 countries
confirmed on 80M, 255 confirmed on 40M, etc. with my Butternut HF6V
multiband vertical antenna (a few of the 75-Meter contacts were made with
an Inverted Vee up about 55 feet, but mostly all done with the Butternut).
160 Meters has a ways to go - only 41 countries, so far.

I have a 2 element 40 at 80 feet and I can't even hear VR, 9M, HL, VU, XZ,
etc. from my QTH in the UP of Michigan. When the California stations spot
these areas, it's too late for my location. Even if I am up with the
birds, I still have no propagation to that part of the world.
You KA and MO guys have it made!
