I have heard that many times from many people....
Never seen it happen.......
Have an antenna at 60 feet (measured at the base) for 12-10. That is well over 1/2 wave.
Shows excellent low angle radiation....Too low for most of my local work. Works best
beyond 300 miles or with in 10 miles. Work Japan on 10 all the time, S-9 reports, 35W.
South Pacific Quite often with the same reports. Almost any where in the US (when some
one is on).
