Hi Roger,
I know 3 RBN reporting receivers located in New Hampshire use very good RX
antennas and they are as follows based on 2020 information I obtained from
the owner of these receivers.
200m-long Beverage to EU
23' high active Hi-Z vertical
So yes, very good RX antennas on some of the East Coast RBN receivers.
Just FYI,
