When I last investigated, all the skimmers and Web SDRs that were outside
of North America all had terrible receive antennas for copying DX signals
on 160. (And who knows how many of them are in quiet locations?)
When I say "terrible", I mean small "magnetic" loops, very short whips, low
dipoles, a random end-fed wire, etc. No phased arrays or Beverages, and not
even a Flag, K9AY, EWE, etc.
Does anyone know if that is still the case?
