[Elecraft] RX Antennas

[Dale Parfitt]

Hi Doug,
I have talked with several hams using the K9AY. Apparently it is somewhat 
ground dependent, and thus results are all over the board. I don't have any 
level ground here in the mountains. After some discussion, I was discouraged 
from trying a Hi Z or 4 Square. My Beverages work wonderfully, but they are 
in the woods and tree limbs are constantly bringing them down. I have a 
rotatable Flag antenna but I must say, so far the SALA is almost as good as 
the Beverages and a lot better than the Flag.
