OH1TN and DJ9IE use long horizontal wires and are amongst the strongest signals here. Reino (OH1TN) is using a 1/4 wave horizontal wire and has a very strong signal all over Europe despite the fact that he is running only 100W output. So you antenna might be more than just a compromize 73, Rik ON7YD
