I used the equivilant of a Hustler 4-BTV on my roof in Okinawa back in th=
e
70's and it worked very well, brought it back here to Maine and set it up=
 and
even with 65 radials it was a poor performer.  Location means a lot with
Verticals also.

Good Discussion,

So does a DX location (like Okinawa). They are generally worth a few dBs.=
