Agreed, mostly. I'm wondering about your conclusions regarding mounting height for the NV4K. Is this info from Henry's treatise?

I like your input Bob, and have to admit, I have wondered if the GM has too little energy in the higher angles (which you have in the bottom-fed 5/8 & NV4K) for as energetic local in-town contacts. How much are local contacts benefitting from a little 20°-35° energy, thus perhaps making the GM a little weak in comparison to even an A99 at times? Even for some non-skip DX, I wonder if sporadic E and even D-layer reflection isn't dependent on some higher angle radiation?
