I would like to correspond with anyone who has tried portable QRP
operation from a high location, using a low horizontal antenna at the
edge of a sharp dropoff.

In the Moxon antenna book (chapter 10), he says that a simple dipole or
inverted vee at a low height in such a location can show excellent gain
at low angles.  I have an great application for this, if it really works!

Vic, do a google on Adventure Radio Society and look in their searchable 
articles in Sojourner newsletter on antennas. There was an article a while 
back about this very thing. Talked very postive about this very topic with 
lots of field comparisons, etc... Just what you are looking for!!
