Rich -
While I would like to be able to say that I have taken exhaustive field
strength readings in all directions on all bands at appropriate distances,
such is not the case ... nor will it ever be. I base my performance
assessment on reception reports (PSKreporter, etc.) and actual QSOs compared
to what I would predict based on NEC pattern data along with predicted
propagation.
The bottom line is that I have WAS on 160, 80, 40, 30 and 20 meters, DXCC
(actually 145 countries) and a host of other "awards" that just popped up in
the normal course of having fun and hamming it up.
And most of that was with 100 watts or less, and all of it in the 14 months
since I put up this antenna.
For me, that IS the whole picture.

This actually surfaces a question that I am currently wondering about with
my own system...what is measured performance here? I have a 40m EF wire
about 20m in the air, and I wonder how effective it is at radiating. I have
good SWR, and I get good signal reports, but wonder if that is the whole
picture?
