What's the recommendation for remote RX antennae, loops or a single whip?

I haven't used the DX Engineering array antenna, but it might be worth
investigating:

Only $3,145.55 plus tax and shipping.


Only????? :-)

I was thinking in terms of bits from the junk box
with additional expenditure of only tuppence ha'penny.

But thanks, anyway.


Y'er welcome. However all is not lost. If you search for "Antennas
made from junk", there are a few that look like they might meet your
cost and construction requirements:

Please note that it is not necessary to start with junk in order to
produce an antenna that might be declared to be junk. This is not
really a bad thing, as it is well known that ugly antennas work best,
and that nicely constructed antennas rarely work without the addition
of decorative junk.



ROTFL!
