[Elecraft] Recieve antennas in an Urban area

[Richard Thorne]

Just curious what others are using for receive antennas.  I have a 
vertical mounted on my rear fence which does a nice job transmitting, 
but it gets a bit noisy some times.  I use an SGC-239 tuner at the base 
and it tunes from 10 through 80.

I've looked at the Wellbrook loops and they look interesting

yard so the larger K9AY loops are not an option.

The other antenna I've looked at is the DX Engineering active antennas.

I could mount either of these antennas on my chimney and use a small 
rotor to rotate them for directivity.

My current interest is 80/40/30 meters but that will start changing as 
the new sunspot cycle starts.

So what is the group using for receive antenna's?
