Topband: Looking for antenna suggestions

[fmoeves]

David,Sounds like a good project also. I'm looking for fishing poles to use with the DHDL and gine that one a try.The poles will come handy for other antennas too. I'm guessing these poles are not a Walmart item. Fred KB4QZH

I will switch polarities to obtain 4-quadrant reception into a K3S dual receiver in diversity mode.  It's not all about gain or beamwidth but what the brain can work on to separate the signals and noise. In the absence of acreage this should do it for me.
