Hey Toll_Free, when you mentioned the 5/8 gained some performance in DX were you referring to local contacts (what most mistakenly refer to as 'ground wave') or sporadic E, or were you referring to 1K mile+ skip ie: F1-F2 layer?

How do they compare at ~50-75miles?

Do you believe the cone radiates a significant amount of power, or mostly acts just to contain the lower reverse phase energy with only negligible additional in-phase radiation?
