[R-390] 'Burbs antenna

[Bill Riches]

What do you guys use for receiving antennae (general HF coverage) in
suburbia where (alas) there is no room for rhombics, vee's and other cool
things that I grew up with

I live in a rural area and have room for wire antennas but I also have a
Dressler active antenna that is mounted above a non-functional weather vane
about 15 feet above the ground.  It works quite well - however do not use
the wall wart power supply that comes with it - the diodes hum modulate
received sigs at times - use 12 volts dc from a different better source.
