Sorry,
Brain was out thinking the typing fingers LOL! I forgot the subject which
would have helped too.
Yes we are on the same page. Bandwidth is worth considering.

Hey Mike ... are you asking as to a shortened array vs full sized?
<me thinks there is a word missing in your question>
Short answer is ... they will work, AS LONG AS you have a better than
average ground system ... that was my finding when I pondered this very
question before I took my full sized array down for R&R.
The other point mentioned frequently was the bandwidth was better with the
full size ... most ended up using some form of switching to go from CW to
SSB. <Note this was before the SSB band changes>.
So, are we discussing the same thing here?
