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.



Oh, I understand that a larger antenna is much more receptive. And I have a
110' random wire that does wonders. I am just wanting some sort of
reception booster to take with me if we have to bug out for a hurricane
again. That, and the challange interests me.
