You got that right,you gotta walk a mile in the other guys shoes!!
When I lived in New Hampshire working EU on 160 was a walk in the park
compared to the kind of propagation we get down here in FL
or what the guys out west have to EU ( I did a stint as N7EX for a while
in Spokane) ...
You left out location, location, location...:-)

I agree with you Lee.
My new rotatable flag to me is super compared to my 4' loop

Hi Lee
My English is very weak.
I can't argue with you ..
1- I agree that there are very good RX antennas.
But I repeat - there are no super RX antennas.
2 - if there is a lot of industrial interference near your QTH, a good
RX antenna will not help.
3- Very weeks conditions - a good RX
