TY Alan and John for that. Unfortunately my ledge has little if any
ground conductivity and is extremely uneven with 45+ degree hills and
ridges and ravine dropoffs everywhere. The only areas that are flat
enough are either on my neighbors lawns or my septic field or far too
close to my transmit antennas. And none of that will work.
It's quite a challenge here!

I am sure that even K9AY would prefer Beverages over a K9AY loop. The
loop is a good choice for small lots with good ground conductivity.
Perhaps an 8 circle RX array would be a solution if running beverage
wires was impractical or impossible.

You may want to consider the K9AY Loop system - ~25ft radius and
switchable in 4 directions. Have had one for yrs in and among trees
and find it very helpful on the low bands in Diversity receive. I
think Array Solutions carries. - Alan K9MBQ

Hi John,
That presentation was great, as was the article with Frank and Ward.
TY for the links to both!
