Tim, Your receiving antennas may be picking up re-radiation, of noise and signals, from the transmitting antenna. Try detuning the TX antenna while receiving. (If best receiving on the loop is with the null toward the TX antenna, it is a indication.) 73 Bruce-K1FZ
I have tried pennants and K9AY's over the winter with little success. Compared to my transmitting antenna (A "T" with a poor radial system) most signals were still better, S/N wise, on my transmitting antenna. I feel like I must've been doing something wrong. Still the fact that a few signals came in on the loop with by ear much better S/N, maybe I was on the right track and just didn't try hard enough.
