Marconi, you're right about different mast lengths on varying roof heights changing the playing field.
Now you have me wondering what performance I'd get if I used a few feet of fiberglass rod to insulate the Penetrator from the mast and wound a choke around the fiberglass rod to remove most all feed line radiation?
Maybe those free space models might reveal more considering the antennas could be isolated.
I'm really tempted to put the Penetrator back up, fully isolated from the mast, and try it out for a few weeks.
