So what is the group using for receive antenna's?
There are all kinds of specialized receiving antennas such as loops,
ferrite loops, and even Beverages (but they don't fit in urban locations!)
My experience has been that the most important thing is to use a
balanced horizontal antenna. Of course it should be as high and away
from noise sources as possible. It should use a balun or be fed with
balanced line in order to reduce noise pickup on the feedline which
passes close to various noise sources.
You can buy or make a *balanced* active antenna which is much smaller
than a full-sized dipole. Many active antennas are unbalanced, which is
not desirable.
