[ADXA] RX Antennas - What's in Your Station??

[Dennis Schaefer]

One reason I decided on trying a Pennant first was that I read about
variable results with EWEs and K9AY loops depending on ground conditions.
It seems these antennas depend on a good ground, which is difficult for me.


K9AY loops seem to work great for some, and not well at all for others.
I’m going to try ground-independent antennas first.    I may try a BOG
later if it looks like I can get adequate grounds for one.
