Hello all again,
I know I should provided more information. The Vertical is OK, no
complaints. I have tried a short G5RV not to happy with 15 - 10.
I am just looking for something that is better on 15 - 10.
I can run a wire flat top in about 50 feet only about 25 feet high.
I was considering a Alpha Delta DX-EE.
I do have an external tuner.
