Homer, I envy your ability to provide so much clear information in such short paragraphs... I should have stayed in Tech Writing class. :blush:

OK, well, I respect a good head-to-head test, same pole, coax, height, location etc., but I also respect daily living experience, so if you have gotten used to the performance of the Qv4k and could pull it down, (after jotting down some average signal strengths of local operators) and replace it with the 5/8 for a week or two, I'm certain you'd have an almost immediate preference, as I know I get a 'feel' for an antenna and am able to quickly notice losses when I hear someone I'm used to hearing with a certain static or tone quality and they are either louder & clearer or not so clear.
I'd like to hear you try such, but I don't know if that would be far too much hassle with that interesting home-brew tower of yours.
