Dave,
In a nut-shell, a larger antenna will tend to be more 'receptive'
at lower frequencies.


Agree. Years ago I was an avid broadcast band (BCB) DX'er, usually getting
what I wanted late at night. However, when I installed about a 50-foot
dipole wrapped around the inside of my garage, I found an exciting number of
distant stations available during the day. It seems old hat today, but the
experience was valid, I think.
