Keith,

that is my "problem" as well; just last night I worked ZS6CCY on 75m 
with my vertical, and could hardly hear him on the dipole.

In short, it seems the opposite of what I would expect, since in the 
last 4 months, I have worked over 90 countries on 80, including many in 
Europe, Africa, Oceania, Asia, South and Central America.

So I am figuring I just don't understand something, or I put out enough 
radials to compensate and am not just heating the worms up.
