160m Inv L vs the 6m 1/4

Looks like the 6m 1/4 Vertical may be working well after all.    Initial testing had RX down 6-10 db from the new 1/4 Vert as compared to the 160m Inv V.   Today I had QSOs with VA3TX in Creemore.

VA3TX QTH is Creemore , bearing 70 deg and 58 km from my QTH.

First QSO was with the 160m Inverted L.  I received him at +12 and he reported receiving me at -7. 

Second QSO was with the new 1/4 Vertical.   I received him at +2 and he reported receiving me at -3.


So its a 10 db drop in RX for a 4 db gain in TX.   Need to repeat the test ,  need some other hams nearby to repeat the test to see if the data is repeatable. 

2nd QSO...1/4 Vert
