Topband: Phased short vertical receive antenna system

[James Rodenkirch]

Ok OK....this is what I was remembering (courtesy of a reply from Larry):
 
Check out http://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-aaps3-1p or page 77 of
their Autumn/Winter 2014 paper catalog. These receive antennas use 102"
whips. 
 
I think I'll go for a two element Hi-Z version - I can put up two 17' verticals and some 17' radials, spaced 40 to 50 feet....will work better than my top-loaded vertical....hi hi
 
Tnx to all for the rapid replies!!!!!!!!!! m72, Jim R. K9JWV

I recall seeing a phased antenna system for the low bands that employed short vertical antennas....shorter than what is used in the system for sale at DX Engineering these days. I am envisioning an advertisement where the antennas - 4 to 8 of them depending on how narrow of a pattern you desired - looked like whips....perhaps 8 to 10 feet tall....
 
Anyone know about what I have stuck up in my cranium or am I simply "losing it"?
