[TowerTalk] 160 and 80 meter receiving antenna

[Phil Camera]

The EWE is ground dependent; if you have good conductive ground, it'll 
work well.  The K9AY loop as well as a pennant/flag/delta loop is not 
ground dependent.  My EWE's worked well but too close to the shunt fed 
tower when that went up.  Now I have a rotatable delta loop (best shape 
to rotate and keep up with ice accumulation in winter) as well as a 
couple of beverages.  Having more than one receiving antenna for the low 
bands is best; what works one night will not the next but the other 
will.  Gd luck, Phil  KB9CRY

>Dont have room for a Beverage. Can anyone give educated opinion on which is better the K9AY loop or the EWE receiving antenna.   I want to use one antenna for 80 and 160 so it will have to be a compromise. Thanks Van W4GIW
