[Elecraft] ARRL book on receiving antennas

[Don Roberts]

Having been a ham since 1956, I also agree from my experience, that I along with every ham I knew, used the same antenna to receive and transmit. From my first home brew one tube, through my first Globe Chief kit, through Globe Scout, NCX3, and Globe GTX 550, all in the 50/s and into the 60/s, and all had the same antenna for receive and transmit. I too, went from the dpdt knife switch, to the Dow Key relay. My QSL collection  confirms this for the stations worked during that period.
