i prefer full length elements when possible . i also like larger diameter elements simply because the antenna is more durable . FWIU it makes very little to no electrical difference on these simple antennas , but the signal does travel on the surface of the elements ........

Also, I've used this setup with only 200 watts and talked to Australia from here. Must be doin' somethin' right. 73's all.

You bet you're doing it right, you don't have an A99, do ya'?!!?

LMAO! Yep your right...I don't. I have used one back in the mid '90s. I then went to the 2000. But I couldn't leave it up when they reintroduced the 500. 73s
