Hello Stewart,

I have tested this on an open perfectly flat country site. The test site was located on an inland dyke, which itself was 6 metre above the surrounding fields.
Raising the antenna gave much more signal.

The screening from the surroundings is also a fact. In my suburban city location, signal strength is considerable less (14 dB for the same height) than in an open field location.
Fortunately this does not impair reception at all, as s/n is the same.

Besides a theoritical point of few, the stronger signals on a higher pole are irrelevant as the main problem with this type of antenna is the massive signal levels produced. Not the lack of it!
Best regards,

Roelof Bakker, pa0rdt
