Hi John, I think a tee is an excellent antenna for DX and as others have mentioned and that’s what I would us but thought I should mention something regarding NVIS capabilities. I suspect a tee is deaf as can be for NVIS signals just like my 68 foot base loaded vertical that I use on 160 meters. For contests that involve working stations in very close (like within 150 miles or so) there are times that I can’t hear the station on my TX vertical whereas they are 20 dB or greater than my noise floor on my receive pennants regardless of which pennant I select (really an amazing phenomenon).
Just something to consider if you also need to work stations in close (like adjacent states). 73, Don (wd8dsb) On Tue, Mar 2, 2021 at 3:20 AM John <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all.I currently have a coaxial inv.
