[TenTec] Value of RX Only Antennas

[Rick W]

You can also buy a K9AY kit that includes 2 PC boards, preamp and all parts for the boards.  You need to add the boxes, connectors, cable and switches.  Of course the loops need to be constructed as well.  I live on a residential lot and the loops have a small footprint.

It's $48 plus shipping.  I installed mine about a year ago.  Granted it's not a 4-square and the preamp is not top of the line BUT it works quite well with my Orion and has improved my DXCC totals on 80. Don't forget to add front end protection (like the Array Solutions AS-RXFEP).
