Hear better with a receiving antenna.

I have to agree fully.  I have a K9AY and it's wonderful.  I will say it's more of an advantage when DXing on CW, but it helps on AM as well.

If you think that is cool, try 2 loops in line and phase them. That pulls the angle down.

I just finished rebuilding the Beverage farm during the prior snow storms, there are now 8 directions from 4 two wire reversibles in the 750-900' range. My Old Senile Citizen ass was having a ball trudging thru the woods in 2'+ of white crap.

Plus there is a BUS, Beverage Under Snow. I paralleled it with the 900' NE/SW but only a single 640' SW wire and strung about 4-12" above the ground back in the early fall. It works well with very little signal loss and at times hears much better as its more for higher angles. I might try a couple of similar 2 wire versions in the Spring. Maybe Steve can model.

I wonder if 2 wire reversibles can be end fire phased as that opens up more possibilities?
