Dave,

I have a full-wave horizontal loop on 30m and a multi-band vertical for 40 -
10 (1/4 wave on 30m). The vertical is 10 feet off the ground, the loop is at
40 feet. For "local" stuff (within several hundred miles) the loop is
better. For DX, the vertical beats the loop every time.

Try a 1/4 wave ground plane and see how it works.

Just curious as to what most of you are using as an antenna on
the 30 Meter band?

I've used many and was just wondering if i could improve my overall DX
performance with something other than a Dipole. With out going to the
expense of a Beam.
