Damnation a Ham thread all our own. Everybody get yer fukken ham license and quit whining !!!!
The OCF dipole is up about 60 feet at the apex and about 10 to 12 feet on the ends. I wish it was higher but I've worked a shitpot of DX with it. It does not cover topband or 30 or 15. It would cover the last two with a good external tuner though not efficiently. People are surprised at my signal on 80 and 40 with just 100 watts. The B&W is very broad banded and of course a bit of a compromise for transmitting but both antennas suit my purposes well. I like to change bands quickly and listen more than talk. I worked both South Korea and the South Pole with the B&W so don't let anyone tell you they can't be heard.
Have you ever tried an Inverted L ? I have a friend that swears by his for the lower bands.
