Gary I have been using always verticals since I started as ham radio op many years ago,today I still use them,for dx/contesting work they are the best because their very low take off angle,mine now is a Hygain AV3 with 3 radials per band over my house roof about 5 feet and there is no pile up no matter how far or how big will be that I could not brake in the second or third call I do,for lower bands below 40M is not too practical because their length but from 20 and over they work great.Only problem you will have is that they do receive from all over,and you will have to live with some QRM but that is not a problem with our K3's.
Good luck,73
