That makes sense Dave as the artificial ground plane (attached radials) has gone upwards with the antenna.

A traditional well elevated 1/4 wave is no slouch on 10m/11m. It will DX as well as a 1/2 wave and correctly installed 5/8th wave. 1/4 waves on the ground for 10m and 11m is where they do you no favours at all. They will work in strong conditions but they will be outperformed with ease by a...

If the MAX2000 ultimately follows the same current and voltage distribution and matching as a traditional 5/8 wave vertical the IMAX will lose its gain as it moves further from the earth below. It relies on a good ground reflection wave that is in phase with the main lobe at lower angles, from...
