Are people really using 4 squares as their primary receiving antennas on 160
- 40?  I am surprised if so.  4 squares on the low bands should be all about
steerable gain in my opinion.  Heck I even use my beverages on 40M half the
time and I have a 3 el beam.  On 80M I have a 2 el wire beam and use the
beverages to receive about 80% of the time.  The exception being an
EXTREMELY quiet winter evening.  On 160, I have a 2 el phased array to
Europe that is about 1.5 db less than a 4 square and I have NEVER used it to
receive.
