[TowerTalk] Reduced size receiving antennas

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I use the 4sq rcv array from DX Engineering and they work great.  They use
shortened whips for the verticals.  I do not have a full sized 4sq to
compare.

I have used other small loops in the past.  What I have found is something
is usually better than nothing.

TTers,

Has anyone built a reduced size version of the K9AY terminated loop(s)?

 If so what are the consequences (besides the obvious reduction in capture
area).

Same question for pennants and flags.

The reason for the question is a very long and skinny  backyard.

TIA and 73
