gain master is one of, if not best vertical ive used for DX. Better than my a99 and imax 2000 and maco. Only one I've heard is better is sirio vector 4000 but havent tried one.


Your antenna is better than a mobile don't worry about that. DX goes where it wants to who it wants.

 

I run a wilson 5000 in my mobile and I talked to Australia yesterday. Some locals on base ants couldn't ger through to them. Is my mobile better than their base stations, no. It was just luckly. DX conditions are super picky right now too. We had 100 mile local skip the day before and then 3000 mile skip the day after, then nothing.


As winter comes the DX will get better and your gain master will work some good contacts. As other guy said, don;t overthink it.
