message The K9AY is a good antenna. Is your antenna amplified?
How is it configured?
Do you have two or four loops?

The K9AY is comparable with a beverage ant in some cir****ances
but with less noise and betters nulls.I have a 30 db pre-amp
designed from a online project. My K9AY configuration is a
copy from this site.

My ant have 2 loops but If you don't have the accessibility
to the pre-amp and control box parts then you can use your
own receiver pre-amp and build the ant using only one loop.
