Hi Jerry,
I believe I would elevate that antenna and get the counter poise for it or
put out a few free space radials for each band. I'm not familiar with the
antenna in question but agree that from where you are, you should be working
and hearing the world. Another thought is to do something like Tom, KB8TYJ,
has done and put up something like the Alpha Delta DXCC or similar multiband
dipole.
I hope we all find a solution that works for you and very 73.
Kevin :)

Steve, I did stick around, I heard the call for a transmition and tried but=
didn't get through. I have an LDG antenna tuner and got an swr of about 1=
.5. I had 100 watts out and reflective power of about 5 watts. It seemed =
I had better reception when I had the vertical mounted on a pipe. I wonder=
if I were to do this again and get the counter poise for the 6v if that wo=
uld help. I had the antenna mounted on the pole when I wasn't licensed. I=
just listened. I got the tw1 and my liecnse and the tuner and the swr was=
about 8 to 1. I mounted the antenna in the ground and gave up reception f=
or transmition.
