[Elecraft] Separate Receiving Antenna

[Doug Turnbull]

Paul,
    Try a K9AY for 40/80/160 or maybe a 5' x 5' passive magnetic loop for
160M.   Array solutions also make another variant on the K9AY which may be
superior - I do not know.    For the low band receive antennas can be a
considerable help and for 160M are a must if you want to hear on this band.

PS I can not find you on QRZ.COM.   Where are you located?   I am in County
Louth four miles north of Drogheda.   Drop I for an eyeball if in the area.

Dear Elecrafters,

I have a very small and odd shaped garden in which to play Ham Radio. I have
a K3 (and a K2 and... ), I run QRP CW and I was wondering if anyone had
experience of using active loop antennas as receiving antennas to lower the
noise floor. I was looking at Wellbrook's Website this afternoon, and I see
that their loops get good reviews on EHam. I was wondering what experience
you guys might have with these and similar antennas.
