Harry,

The link below describes the Sterba Curtain Array. It's basically four (or 
more, perhaps) vertical loops joined edge to edge with phasing 
connections.  As with many, many antennas, this one is claimed to be "the 
ONE antenna you should have if you can have only one."

Put "Sterba Curtain Array" into Google and you get lots to read.
