Hello everyone and happy New Year! This is my first post here, and I'm
quite sure it wont be my last.

I am very green to this hobby. I have always been fascinated with DX
radio and finally have the time and money to get involved in it. I
started BIG. I just bought an R8B for my first receiver. I live in a
small condo in Northern Arizona (Flagstaff) I am surrounded by tall
mountains and the elevation at my house is 8,200 Feet.

I am looking for the best antenna for my buck at around $200.00. My
main listening interests are utility stations. This antenna must be
able to withstand winds of 60 mph +, and not be too much of an eyesore.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you're looking for an outdoor antenna, which is good.

How much space do you have to work with? Are you looking for something
that would go on your roof or on a balcony or do you have some real
estate to play with?
