Years ago I had a vertical dipole for 40 meters and a raised vertical with 3 radials 10 feet above the ground. The raised vertical was about 6 DB better than the vertical dipole for European stations. The raised vertical was 10 feet off the ground at the bottom with 3 full size radials (33 feet long). I like raised verticals.

How high above ground was the dipole? How long was the dipole? A half wavelength?
