Please select from the poll choices and then give a brief summary of how you feel you do when it comes to working stations, both domestic & DX.
For example: "Don't seem to have much trouble working continental USA, but Europe and Pacific are issues."
Or: "Near top of Honor Roll. There's almost nothing I can't work."
Amp, or not?

Too bad there is not the option to choose two. IE: 2 or more 35 to 80 feet and a 10m ant 9 feet above a structure which starts at 10 above ground.
I thought about allowing more than one choice, but with 10 choices, I figured that would be a bit too much.Originally Posted by KG4CGC

Understood. I like antennas. Always have. Beautiful addition to any home. It just isn't a home without an antenna or two. I feel bad for all the people who have to go through life without ever knowing the joys of antennaism.
What? Yes. I'm totally serious.

Two wire antennas (40m dipole, G5RV jr.), three VHF verticals (6m, 2m, 220 MHz), one UHF (70 cm) vertical and a 10m Moxon. All but the UHF vertical are home brew. Also a Cushcraft R8 HF vertical but it's yet to be assembled and erected.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
A 460' random wire that peaks at 80' in height.
A 125' random wire peaking at 85'.
20m doublet dipole that is sitting vertical right now until I repair the loose leg. One end at 80', one at 30'.
Antron A99 for 10meers.
Giant metal building as counterpoise and ground.
Took all the VHF/UHF stuff down and using small outdoor amplified TV antenna for the scanner.
There is a 13 element 2m monobander sitting in a room and a 4 element 2m mb'r that you could hold in your hand sitting in the same room.
Not even going to mention the 6 element FMBCB antenna I use almost daily with a Yamaha CT-410II.

2 HF verticals, 1 wire, 1 V/UHF vertical up. 2 HF verticals (1 in need of repairs, 1 just for parts), a new-in-the-box VHF vertical, & the remains of a Mosley beam in storage.

I have a single antenna, but two wires on it. Inverted V fan dipole, at the peak of my roof.
