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.


You can buy most of the antennas on this page.

You bought a good radio, have fun.
