[TowerTalk] Reduced size receiving antennas

[Gene Fuller]

I have observed the same here re pennants vs beverages. I haven't got room 
for beverages and although the pennants are a fairly good "cheap shot" I 
know that other guys in Weatern New York State with bevdrages do hear a lot 
better than I.

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.
