[Antennas] Antenna for Local Use

[N5GE]

Richard,

The best antenna that I have for local use is a horizontal loop at 23 feet
(NVIS Antenna).

It does very well in a 6oo mile diameter circle.

Thanks to all for the replies. It looks like a horizontal antenna of some
type (maybe a loop) would be best.

Now here in the high Desert, what they call trees, I call deformed shrubs !!

So, it won't be going up that high.

Tnx again,

73, Dick, W1KSZ
