I have a "really low" NVIS dipole that is at 40ft elevation - ends at 20 ft. I put it up for very local communication and to experiment with DX angles.
I have only found it to be "okay" at sunset to maybe 30 - 45 mins after, where, at times, its equal to my 2 el T top phased array to EU. Its NEVER stronger to EU that I have seen so far. I have observed it being 10db stronger during that same period than my omni directional T vertical to stations about 500 miles out. But within an hour, it loses out to the vertical. 73 Ed N1UR _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
