Gary, what are you going to do about all the over active ALC, sprinkled with
copious amount of Compression and marinated with an excessive amount of mic
gain on any given contest weekend?
These by far out numbered the ESSBer we are so quick to mentioned!

Craig, my best advise, ARRL Antenna Book.
There are way too many variables , and when it comes to Antenna, the only
high performance Antenna there is, is measured in dbi.
Go back through the archives here on the forum and you'll find many of
educating
discussion of different antenna subject.
Gerald, would this be what you are looking for?
