Both antennas are at the top of the hill.
The 40m vertical is 3-4 years old and has 8 radials. The Fan Dipole is new 80 / 40 /20 meters.
The vertical is ground mounted and the Fan Dipole is up about 35' in the middle. Most importantly dipole faces Europe broadside 50 degrees and the South Pacific broadside 230 degrees, ends face 140 deg and 310 deg.
The performance of the new Fan Dipole was so much better then the Vertical I have a suspicion that I may have some losses in the IFL.
Used 2 WSPRlites running 100 mw. LDP is the Fan and spots are Blue Dots, IMI is the Vertical and those spots are Red but I don't see any! The Green dots are where both IMI and LDP receives reports from.

Simultaneous Spots
The Fan Dipole overwhelmingly comes out as the better antenna by 4.5 db ....HUGE!
Here are the top 10 DX spots for each antenna....
