Mike:
Remember, the dipole is directional
with some gain in that direction over
a vertical which radiates "equally poorly
in all directions!"

Thanks, Rick, Bill, and Gary. That explains a lot. So many variables
here.
What is fascinating to me is that my dipole seems to be outperforming
my vertical for DX (or at least certain DX). After all, I worked
Reunion Island off the dipole, which is in an area on the planet I had
given up reaching with my vertical.
Phrased in a different way....there is must be something superior to
my particular installation of the dipole that overcomes the low-angle
radiation of the vertical I have. (At least in the limited and
anecdotal data points I have.)
