He is right.  Might as well sell your gear and take up stamp collecting if 
you can't put up a full sized 4-square with 5 miles of radials.

I have found out that any antenna will work DX, some just better than 
others.  A vertical works better than a low dipole, a beam is better than a 
vertical, a stack is better than a beam--it is all relative.  Just put it up 
and have fun, that is the main thing.  73
