[Antennas] B&W question

Sat, 15 Feb 2003 23:52:07 -0500

Since I don't have a beam to compare it to it's kind of hard to answer how
well it hears unless I do it totally subjectively. I seem to usually hear
everything everyone else is calling but there are times when I can't hear
them as well. Not that often though. I tend to give out the same received
signal reports that others are giving out the majority of the time. And I
don't give inflated reports.  Of course that doesn't allow for propagation
and differences in location. Basically, I think the antenna hears very well
but not as well as a beam or dipole cut to frequency. Whew! How was that for
a non technical answer?
