[CQ-Contest] A receiving antenna for domestic contests

[pat_f6irf]

Hi all
Just to "self-spot" the on-line publication in english of the 
description of a broadband receiving antenna, initialy designed with our 
"National Contest"(*) in mind, but which may be of interest for many 
others...
*This antenna is not a DX antenna*, but an antenna whose purpose is to 
facilitate "domestic" communications, which in these times of minimum 
solar flux are often more difficult to achieve than DX contacts. This 
antenna may also be interesting for those who are affected by one or 
more sources of local noise that typically arrive at low angles such as 
urban neon signs, transformers or power lines.
The idea may not be revolutionary, but just a look at this video(s) and 
follow the links if you are interested.
