[Antennas] Receiving Antenna

[Jim Hargrave]

David,

There are many configurations that will work on city lots, especially 
with some trees to support some wire.
A couple of antennas I used when in the city was a "Windom" off center 
dipole.
Another excellent receiving antenna is the "T2FD" all band slopper.

Both are easily constructed.
