Congratulations!
I'm doing it backwards: I put up the receiving antennas first.
Today, I finally fixed the one Beverage receiving antenna that wasn't working
as it should. That's all I have here -- two 580' bi-directional Beverages. Do
they ever play! I can hear most, if not all, of the stations spotted on the DX
cluster.
The next project is a transmitting antenna so I can work them.
If you have room, I strongly suggest Beverages. If not, perhaps a K9AY loop or
something similar.
