Rob: About the only way an R.S. Discone will beat what you're Useing now
below 100 mehz. is if the coax has become disconnected.--- Discones , (
even with the loaded vertical ) just don't hear well down
in those Freqs.
I checked the net for the answer for guite a while with same results
you're getting "bout 50/50 got some
replys as complicated as quantum physics,
PLAIN TRUTH IS THEY DON'T HEAR VERY GOOD ON LOW FREQS
