I'm working on my home stealth antenna installation.  Currently I'm using a 
29' vertical mounted on my fence with 2 radials fed with an SGC-239 tuner at 
the base.  For transmitting it works extremely well.

On receive its picking up all the noise in the neighborhood.  I ran a quick 
test with a dipole running along the fence line cut for 20 meters and the 
noise was dramatically reduced on that band.

The Active Horizontal Receive Antenna - DXE-ARAH-1P looks very intersting. 
I could mount it on my chimney with a small tv rotor and use it for receive.

Has anyone tried one of these yet? results?

Thanks in advance.
