Great Don,
You and I grew up in the same time era......
Now, I am wiser and have more CRS,,,,, Anyway, Here is my take on antennas
in general. I have MANY that I can chose from at any time, HOWEVER, Some
antennas "hear" better even if they are not as efficient as my transmitting
antenna. The crazy thing is the good receiving antenna, when things get tough,
are not the most efficient on transmit. Does that make sense? I hope so.

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.
