Receiver: Drake R8B

Skymatch)
Location: Brooklyn, NY

(Check-ins seem to have stopped, at least for now, at 0622 utc)


Steve,


How does the H-800 antenna perform by itself?

I am looking to add an antenna here & that is one I am considering.
The RF Systems MTA is also another one I am looking at.

BTW I am currently using a ALA1530 & a low 180 ft. Horizontal loop.
