That was my point exactly, and I believe you missed John's example.
John was trying to use his V/UHF antennas as an example for the
average tech to get on the air on the V/UHF bands.  In this example
his "modest" V/UHF antenna farm of his isn't likely to see the light
of day around here. OTOH its easy to stick some HF dipoles up and get
on the air quite respectfully which was the point I didn't quite
clearly connect.  When living with these restrictions you can have a
much better station on HF than V/UHF because 100 watts and a dipole
will serve you much better on 20 meters than 2 meters.
