Topband: RX antennas comparison chart

[Tim Childers K9CQ]

I can vouch for Lee's Hi-Z designs.  I am using the Hi-Z Triangular Array at 
50 foot spacing and get 6 directions. It works about the same as a 500-700 
foot beverage with better front to back.  You get that with a 50 foot 
triangle in the corner of your lot.  If you get the triangular array 
optimized for 80 it's only 40 foot spacing.

Not only does it hear much better than my transmit antenna on a night when 
there are storms I can point it away from the lightning and still hear quite 
well. It has the added benefit that you don't use ground radials at each 
vertical, just a ground rod for each antenna.

Tim, K9CQ

Thanks to Bob, N4PQX I got this link to an active chart comparing RX 
antennas. Thanks to K7TJR this might prove very helpful to anyone thinking 
about investing in a receive antenna. Also has some active plots for the 
various antennas. Terry, KI7M
