Underground vs 8 m high. Raisa compares HF dipoles - this time in the forest

This time not on the beach! Will it still work? After the first Underground Dipole video, I got a lot of comments that the reason for its unexpectedly good performance was the proximity of the salty sea. Therefore, I repeated the experiment with the same buried dipole, only now far from the sea - in the forest. At the same time, I made a comparison with a normally hanging dipole. Technical information: Same half wave dipoles for 20 m band. Normal one was hung at a height of 8 meters The underground dipole had to be shortened by almost half. Powered by the same cables of the same length. TX power 100 watts. Homemade antenna switch.
