Mark, I can understand your frustration after reading of your experience.  
Part of the problem is that some folks are putting out some pretty big 
signals without understanding the need for and use of receive antennas.

FWIW, from my local sunset to European sunrise I give highest priority to 
listening for Europe on my NE Beverage and lower priority to other 
directions.
