I'm not sure that all Heil ProSets are the same here.
I know that the Proset K2 sold by Elecraft requires bias.
However I wouldn't think other Heil Prosets that use the HC-4 and HC-5
element would require bias.

I've been working the CW contest tonight on 80m with 1500w output to a half
sloper which is enclosed within an 80m full wave horizontal QSX loop which is up
20 feet, using full QSK with no appreciable unwanted effects. The scope trace
looks the same as using the TX antenna as the RX antenna!

Like spoken or written language, we consider the context when copying CW.
That's how we can copy words even when we miss some characters. And, when we
see the end of a recognizable word, we automatically assume that is
