Best antenna's
 
Received 1500 Khz MW, R. Jacuipe, Bahia, Brazil on my Kiwa MW loop. This is
a tiny 250 watt transmitter. That's 3,800 miles away from the QTH.
No wonder these loops are selling used on eBay for $750

Then, 11384 Khz Honolulu transmitter on USB. Various aircraft working San
Francisco ATC via the Honolulu relay. That's 11,600 miles from the QTH
caught on my Datong AD370 active antenna. An outstanding antenna on the
upper part of the HF band.

Also 1430 Khz "KTBZ" Tulsa, Oklahoma - a 5000 watt transmitter. That's 8880
miles from QTH caught on my RF Systems DX1 Pro active antenna. This antenna
is really magic on the lower frequencies.
