For a quick easy low band low noise antenna I have found that a 20 meter
Delta Loop, corner fed, could hear well with with an in shack pre-amp.
Also the circumference is about right 1005/f for 20 meters that if you
put a 950 ohm resistor in the other corner you end up with a very low
noise K6SE type pennant which give you some nulling in the direction of
the in line resistor. I used to just an insulator at the opposite end
and use two jumpers with alligator clips so I could easily switch
between the Pennant and a 20 meter delta loop.
Try it?
