Being new to topband, I'm trying to decide what would make
better receives antenna for 160m (and 80m as well).
I could put up 2 beverages, but am limited in the directions
I can go. One would be due north, and the other straight
east (I know, not ideal). The north one could be about 600',
but would have to go through trees, then up to the 15-20'
level to go over a driveway, then back down, and it might
have a very slight bend as well. The one going east could be
over 1000' long, but would have a slight curve near the middle.
Feedpoint of both would be fairly close to xmit antenna.
Would those bevs even be worthwhile???
Other option would be K9AY loop (dual-loop AYL-4),
which could be located much further from the xmit ant.
Thoughts?
Thanks & 73,
