Your thoughts?

My only thought is that the performance of verticals is strongly dependent on soil conductivity, while horizontal antennas care only about height. I think you said your soil was average. That would make me concentrate on horizontal antennas, and getting them as high as possible. I have lousy soil but tall trees, and my high dipoles perform very well.
