The problem with every one of these antenna discussions is that some of
us are looking for a reasonable set of compromises, and that discussion
tends to get lost in the "this antenna ain't perfect!" discussion that
invariably results.
When I bought this house, I knew the lot size, and I saw the power lines
running along the back property line.
Someone said that rotating dipoles would outperform most of the
alternatives. That means a good mast, a rotor, and I'd have to make
damn sure the mast couldn't fall across power lines.
I guess the bottom line is that perfect is the enemy of good enough.

What I am trying to communicate is that the user of a compromise
antenna should understand its properties and limitations. Despite
what advertising and 'ham lore' would say, there is no 'magic' in any
particular antenna. They all have their limitations.
