[HBR] THE BEST receiver

[David J Windisch]

Okay, Rob:

For openers, avoid shortcuts.

You need to find out whether the signals you want to hear, get to your 
canyon-bottom.  You know, like in fishing, or hunting, or sniping.  What 
ever.

Get a receive multicoupler.  Put bunches of antenna-candidates on one side, 
and receiver-candidates on the other.

Get on  some DX-spotting sites, and look for spots from your area.  Listen, 
and find out what gets to your canyon-bottom.

Impressive and specific technologies will probably become evident, as your 
listening experience grows.

Hth.  73,  Dave, N3HE
