In Newfoundland and even on the high end for Brazilian GYers where it is 5 
wavelengths long, the 1000 m Bev is somewhat superior to a 400 m // Bev on 
almost every channel. Once in a while there's a freq with more QRM from 
something on the side, but the more narrow beam is more useful for 
Brazilians and has less Venezuelan or Carib QRM. The shorter Bev can also 
have a sidelobe or two.

Patrick, if your 2000ft+ was aimed at Japan, Philippeans..etc I think you'd 
love it, but I know you don't have room that way.
