Quarter wave vertical is not good antenna for serious DX, I suppose.
Compared to 3 el yagi at 300f ;-)

But Wellbrook antennas are good also.

Hello Topbanders,
While we are out of the season in the northern
half of the earth, I will enter SO160 for
JIDX-CW. So see you in this weekend!

exchange : give us RST+CQ Zone (we will send RST+Pref.Nr)
Japanese band : 1810-1825

I would not be too quick to dismiss small magnetic receiving loops from
consideration for DX work. I used a coax diamond loop, 5 feet on a side, on a
rotator at 20 feet, prior to trying larger wire loops. The small
loop enabled many contacts in Europe from my West Coast city lot. The
signals

I can comment on my experiences with a magnetic loop, as I have one,
along with three one-wavelength beverages, and a pennant terminated
loop. Each of those antennas, at one time or another, proves its
worth as a receiving antenna at my station. In terms of signal to
noise ratio, the

N6RK's designs, and while they have deep nulls and work
as expectred they also don't seem to produce any usable
RF from DX stations. I can hear stateside signals with
Well, my Wellbrook might work as well yours, as I too have worked CE/K7CA with
mine on 160 from the Black Hole of KL7. More than once as well.
For me the magic isn't directional gain, it's the improved S/N and the ability
to null local single point QRN.
If I were able to extend a Beverage or
