[Elecraft] RX antenna protection

[Mark E. Musick]

Paul,
I use several different receive antennas and use all the ones I am going to
suggest.
For your small lot, you didn't say how small, I would look at the Pixel
loop, K9AY and RBOG.
I have used these and they work. You can get all three from DX Engineering.
>From ARRAY Solutions there is the Shared Apex Loop. It will take up about
the same space as a K9AY. I have not used one of these so can't say
personally how well it works, but people I know that have used them speak
highly of this antenna.
You have gotten two good suggestions for front end protection. I use the DX
Engineering receiver guard model RG-5000. You don't need the RG-5000HD
unless you're in a contest environment. 
Keep us posted on your progress.

73,
Mark, WB9CIF
