LOL!
I worked Australia on 10mtrs with 2 1/2W SSB when that mess was open.
Did it with a modified 5/8 wave CB ground plane. It was mounted so low,
I could stand on the ground and touch the radials by reaching up to try!
Solid copy BOTH ways!

y'all got to remember that when ten is open, 5 watts can work the world. I'm
reminded of a time years ago when 4 of us here in shreveport were talking on
ten meters and kept getting interrupted by others. We all turned our drive
down as far as it would go. I had virtually no deflection from my wattmeter.
Suddenly, a fellow in Tucson broke in and said "hey I can still hear you
guys"
LOL
