I'm quite pleased with my receive setup and attribute my success chiefly to the big loop antenna. It's composed of a number of features that I "borrowed" from others here on the list, but I put some of my own ideas into it as well. The balanced and shielded pickup loop located 6 inches inside of the main loop windings plays a big role, along with my two stage preamp located right at the antenna. Mind you, a quiet rural QTH has to be concidered as well. 73, J.B., VE3EAR - VE3WZL Solar and wind powered EN93dr
