Considering how strong Otis's signal is in Sulphur, OK if his antenna is
only 25-30 ft. high, I am not sure he needs much more Geoff.

I had this discussion on the air this morning with some South Texas
locals.
Let me set this story up (it's a short transmission, and I'll listen for
breakers afterwards ;-))
I'm headed to K5SWK's tomorrow afternoon to help him get his 75m antenna
back in the air. There were some guys in the round table this morning
that were saying that I shouldn't worry about getting Otis' antenna up at
60 plus feet, because their 25 and 30' tall antenns worked just fine.
I said "let me get this straight... you're running a rig that cranks out
250+ watts and your signal is weak here, but yet you tell me I'm
head-and-shoulders above all noises and I'm running 100W and a 60'ish foot
tall antenna. Yet, you only want Otis' antenna up at 25 or 30'?
(I'm still scratching my head on that one)
