I've had beams, verticals, and wires antennas and operated in some really fabulous stations and the type of antennas really work differently depending upon the contest. I think you're on the right track and hope to read a bit about it on your blog! K9JY Thanks, Scot.

Currently, I'm in the process of changing my antenna configuration from a random wire to a dipole, inverted-vee or sloper. As mentioned in your article, defining your type-of-contest is important then, matching your antenna system. My contest focus is domestic and budget friendly wire antennas can compete against yagis. I'm looking forward to adding a little more gain into the KA3DRR signal from the central coast of California. Thank you for an excellent article.
