[Elecraft] need some roofing filter advice?

Re-post: sorry, problem with original::


Thanks for all the comments gentlemen.

Regarding the RX antenna, I've been reading lots lately on the subject
trying to figure what will work given my pathetic QTH space limitations and
HOA restrictions.
Quite a challenge indeed. In fact, more of a challenge than I'd like. I may
have to be content with WAS on 80m rather than true dx'ing on 160. Time will
tell.

Regarding contesting, as I reflect on my antenna situation I may have to
take contesting more seriously and participate just to get some decent
contacts and increase the qso count on 80/160. Odds are probably greater
that I'll snag some real dx during those events.  Living rear Raleigh, I'd
be surprised if some big signal guys aren't near me that are contesters. So
maybe a narrower filter is the way to go?

And as far as roofing filters, it would be nice if there was a questionnaire
with 50 questions that would just spit out the recommended configuration
based on the answers. But that's dreaming.  I might just have to flip a
three sided coin.

But I do appreciate all the feedback.
