I second that; higher the frequency the better.  Not only are antennas
shorter, they have more absolute bandwidths, too.   Any loaded antenna
I can put up would have pretty narrow bandwidth to start with.

What are the band limits for EU and JA?   Grab the highest 10 kHz of
a common piece of the top band all of us can use?

SWL report: I usually can hear some 160m stations during a CW
contest, but heard not a single RTTY station last night.
