That sounds like confirmation bias. When conditions are good you can work the

Indeed. My main problem with talking to VK land is not the efficiency of my antenna but the pile-ups of European amateurs with kilowatt transmitters and steerable beams.
The fun of the hobby is choosing your momment and getting through with the equipment you have.
Last year I was working /P with a JPC-12 vertical and heard a VK at 5/9 with no-one calling him. Sadly with only 5 Watts at my disposal he got away.
