Bill: You are probably not a dx hound. Lowering the angle is EVERYTHING to many of us. I agree dipoles at less than 1/2 wave high are excellent for close in work and when the dx arrival angles are high. They will not compete well when the angles are low. Ideally we have both in our arsenal and use whichever is the better antenna at the moment. Me, for my operating interest if I had to choose but one it would be a good vertical. I use my horizontal 80 meter antenna less than 5% of the time I'm on 80. 73 bob de w9ge Bill, W6WRT said in par: >I've never understood the fascination with verticals for the low >bands.
