[TowerTalk] Comparing Hi-Z Receive Arrays and KB7GF Shared Apex Loop

The HiZ clearly outperforms the K9AY loop and coax mag loop. Probably will 
also outperform the SAL. The HiZ 4 square and 4-8 Pro  is a phased array and 
so removes noise from 3 of the 4 directions and occupies approx 80 x 80 
feet.. The HiZ 8 circle array removes noise from 7 of 8 directions. But 
requires a much larger piece of real estate. Removing the noise makes the 
signal of interest audible.

I too am looking for something that will improve my ability to receive
weak signals on the low bands. Specifically, something that will help me
work my last 4 zones on 80 (22, 23, 24, and 26).

Any thoughts as to how these two systems would compare for that? I have
room for either, but not for a beverage. I'm not on 160, so that isn't a
consideration. Thanks!

73,

John, K9MM
