Hi Lee

My English is very weak.
I can't argue with you ..

1- I agree that there are very good RX antennas.
But I repeat - there are no super RX antennas.

2 - if there is a lot of industrial interference near your QTH, a good 
RX antenna will not help.

3- Very weeks conditions - a good RX antenna similarly won't help ..

Try listening to Europe tomorrow at 13.00 - 15.00 UTC time.
I am sure there will be no result.
