Howdie folksWe have a W7IUV flag at about 5 feet off the ground. While it does 
help cut down the noise on 160m and haveworked some Dx, it has not done much 
for 80m Rx. The 75ohm coax is fed to a Dx-engg pre-amp in theshack. Hence we 
are looking into other options for this spring/summer.
The Dx-engg active 4-circle/8-circle product, while expensive, has been used by 
dxpeds like FT5ZM andhas good reviews. I have some say that the Hi-Z does not 
work as good or even any close to theirbeverage.
The dual shared apex loop from array solutions is relatively less expensive and 
needs to be mountedhigh to clear people and deer traffic in a 40ft radius 
footprint.
Any first hand experience and comparison/recommendation of one versus the other?
