All antennas have elaborate elevated insulated ground systems plus is some cases miles of sheep fence . With the current towers, that is the height limit and if it works fine if not I shall have to be content with local qso's around Europe. I am waiting for someone across the atlantic with a suitable antenna and power to commence some tests. Will leave a wide band recorder running 24 hrs each day to monitor activity when I am not available, and scan it later on a spectrum analyiser for activity hits. 73 de G3KEV
