Topband: recieve antenna

[k9ot@mhtc.net (Paul DeWitte K9OT)]

This summer we are planning to return to FP/ Miquelon for vacation and I
would like to try 80/160m again. Last year I recieved on the inverted L and
it was VERY noisy.

We are about 100 yards from the ocean so beverages are not an option (also
not enough room to string one out). Does anyone have a suggestion for a
recieve ant that would cut down the noise? It would have to be compact
enough to put in the suitcase.
