Homer, DB,

Thank you for all of your help. Since you both are here on this forum I am looking strictly to qso via skywave propagation instead of groundwave due to solar cycle 25 returning. I have heard and read that both 11m-1/2 wave, 5/8 wave vertical dipoles antennas can be mounted 1/2 wavelength above ground 18' and will give very good results around the country, world when conditions are right. What's the both of your opinion on this?
