[TowerTalk] Reduced size receiving antennas

[Steven Kerns]

We used a Flag antenna on 160M & 80M two seperate years in our MM winning efforts from VP5A and VQ5A a few years back when we did not have room for beverages.

They seemed to be directional, but nowhere as good as a properly built multi wavelenght beverage.
