[WARC] NVIS???? Why should I care?

[Tom Peterson]

I've tried a little NVIS Len, using a low mounted flat dipole.  I  use 
it often in fact, usually during contests where I'm trying to work 
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota stations.  I use the heck out of it during 
the MN and WI QSO parties too.  I know I've worked both Clare and Mike 
(N0BUI) in contests using this antenna.

I don't have time to play thi weekend, but next weekend would be more 
than doable to set up and play radio via NVIS.
