[Elecraft] RX Antennas

[Goldtr8 (KD8NNU)]

I just posted a similar question on the Topband and Ham Antenna reflectors. 
I am considering the same antennas for my QTH and adding a second receiver 
to the K3.

I find that I am RX limited compared to signal reports that I get that are 
not just the 59 contest mode.   So for me this will be a significant 
investment with the receive system and extra receiver so I only want to do 
it once and want to be sure that I make the best choice I can.

The only thing I know so far is that I have had personal interaction with 
persons who have used the K9AY and HI-Z and the HI-Z is consensus winner in 
this comparison.

Thanks
Don

Dale,
    Have you any idea how the Shared Apex Loop Array compares with the K9AY
or Hi-Z 4 Square RX antennas?

While on the subject of RX antennas:

I have been working with my Shared Apex Loop Array= SALA:
http://www.arraysolutions.com/Products/sal_array.htm
I have the 20' version.

While I am not yet finished optimizing, I am quite pleased. The array
appears to work about like my 400' Beverages, but takes up only a 40X40'
square.
On the AM band, I can be aiming NE towards Asheville NC and receiving that
station. By hitting the flip switch or rotating to SW, an Atlanta station
comes in. F/B is best on low angle arrival stations.  Worth looking into.
