[Lowfer] Medfer CT heard in Vancouver...

"The Hifer thing baffles me... Must be the angle of radiation on the
dipole. Perhaps you are in a null and my angle of radiation is to low?
I will be getting a 1/4 wave up soon. It will be < 5m off the ground and
should have a fairly low angle of radiation but also some high stuff
that should favour you. You are sitting on an unfavourable side of the
dipole and considering the wires and other metal in its vicinity its
pattern is likely distorted.  Interesting how it gets out to the east
OK... I did get a report from TN. The dipole has worked Ontario as well
as the Caribbean.  It is only 10' off the ground..."

	I've found that my 20M triband beam works quite well, although at times
NW comes in just as well on the 50 foot vertical.  That is without
tuning anything and a good tuning job would undoubtedly improve either
one.
