[Antennas] Restricted size receive antennas. . .

[David W Sher]

I find that verticals work fine on a city lot; I have used Hy-Gain 14AVQ
(mounted on a chain -link fence) and Butternut verticals, up about 10',
with three radials as Butternut suggests plus an additional 80 meter
radial.  Have not tried the Butternut 160 meter loading coil, as the
antennas have narrow enough bandwidth on 80 without the additional
inductance of the 160 coil.

I have no personal experience with receive-only antennas, but W9BB, who
lives a block from me on a similar lot used a shielded loop for 80
reception (and he made 5BDXCC with it!)
