[Elecraft] ?ELECRAFT NVIS field day?

[David Herring]

I agree. I never said, believed or thought an NVIS antenna HAD to be low, I just said it COULD be low.  

In fact I was banking on the fact that making it low would make distant signals weaker.  ;-)

I worked, on a daily basis, hams at all points along the length of the State of Hawaii, I experienced reduced band noise, and I did not have to contend with stations outside of this area. Problems solved. I don’t think any of this contradicts science.
