No suggestions for antennas, but there's a detailed discussion of what 
it does and measurements of one that I own. I'm primarily using it to 
phase a pair of loops designed for 160M spaced 5/8 wavelength, so about 
350 ft. Scaling that to 40M, that's 82 ft. What the phasing does is move 
it's receive beamwidth around Europe.

The NCC-1 can also be used as a "Noise Canceller," and it is a very good 
one. But like any noise cancellation, it can only cancel one noise at a 
time, and works best with a well-located sense antenna that's very close 
to the noise source.
