I'm thinking jealousy my enter into their thinking. Using a vertical
antenna cut for one or two bands worked better for me the higher I went. A
friend has an all band that the factory says mount on the ground with at
least four long ground radials out from the base. It's around 35 feet tall,
but all bands don't work equally well. The higher the frequency the lower
the effectiveness of the antenna. Maybe it would work okay higher, but the
ground field may not be a effective. Just an
observation..............KD0FGX
