Ed,

When I had that 2o4B A up at just 40 feet, I was running 700 watts output. 
Less than a mile away, K0VVV, now a silent key, had the TH6 up at 132 feet 
and he was running 1500 watts output.  I was working a Russian friend by the 
name of Willie on side band and my friend Bob broke in.  We all talked for 
an hour.  Bob eventually asked Willie who was louder.  Willie told us to 
horse race and Bob and I started calling him in pile up form.  Willie 
insisted that I was stronger but when the band began to change, Bob was able 
to hear and talk to Willie in the USSR when I couldn't copy him Q5. 
Interesting experience.  It proves short towers work, though.

Phil.
