Topband: Help with SAQ RX (A Little off Topic)

[K4SAV]

I think you would be better off using a different antenna.  Gain of that 
antenna on 17.2 kHz will be much less than -100 dBi.  I can't give you 
an exact number because EZNEC doesn't display numbers less than -100 
dBi.  That antenna passes the -100 dBi mark at about 100 kHz.
