[Elecraft] Mobile antenna breakthrough?

[Fred Jensen]

Mine is about 41.5 meters long, strung along the wood fence.  When 
conditions are reasonable I can make a lot of Q's, even on SSB, did so 
in NAQP once Kp declined a lot.  20 m equals about continental range.  
On 40, I'm good to well beyond Scotts Bluff.  80 is NVIS, but I have 
lots of friends in N. Cal, and it works great for that.  When condx are 
bad for everyone else, they've abysmal for me.  Most of the time, I can 
remote to W7RN ... much higher Coeff. of Aerial Aluminum.

Apparently, length counts.  [:-)
