Before you do anything, find and study W3LPL's talks to Contest University on the topic of RX antenna systems. He lists a half-dozen or more very different types, discussing their strengths and weakn

I also use a pair (at 90 degrees) of K9AY loops and a preamp. Works much better than my transmit vertical much of the time. An inexpensive way to start with RX antennas. Robie - AJ4F ________________

The directivity of a K9AY, if I understand the theory, drops as the skywave angle increases. On the BCB I can completely null out one of two stations on the same frequency as long as one of them is m

K9AY loops are ground dependent and are effected by surroundings so results may vary. One antenna that I have not seen suggested is a Pennant. The are not ground dependent and I had some success with

With any of these vertically polarized RX antennas, beware of re-radiation from your tower. If you can't put the RX antenna at least a half wavelength or so from the tower, try to position it so the
