[Antennas] Diminishing Returns

[rbethman]

David,

You have YOUR situation.

Do what YOU can do!  All the charts, books, and theory are wonderful 
constructs.

Then you do YOUR best with the reality that is dealt you.

It "may" not be a "perfect" solution, but it IS what you have to work with.

So give it a go!  See how it works for you!

I've had to run with "imperfect" antenna systems over a span of 29 
years.  Guess what?  They've managed to get me on the air and working 
stations in OUR hobby!
