Has anyone employed that K6STI receive antenna?  It doesn't equal a Beverage, 
for sure, BUT - for a small footprint area it looks interesting.  I'd think it 
wouldn't matter if one used 450 ohm ladder line or 300 ohm twinlead for the 
connection between the opposite ends but...not sure if that's a good 
assumption. I need an alternate receive antenna as my vertical is, simply, too 
noisy but space is at a premium here.  I could put up a short BOG, maybe 200' 
long so think that K6STI loop might be a great idea. Thoughts?  72, Jim
