I could only hear them on one band, 30M, and that was using my KLM KT-34XA as a
receive antenna. Best signal to noise I could manage. I used my amp
as an antenna tuner and loaded up my 40M full-wave loop on 30M to 200 watts
out, and worked them. Sometimes you do what you have to with what you

Generally an antenna that transmits “loud” will also receive
well, at least<br>
on the higher bands like 10, 15, 20, and 40M. (You don’t see too
many<br>
contest stations with a 4-high stack of 20M monobanders using a separate 20M<br>

I had a contester tell me once that nobody with a 3 element tri-bander at 50<br>
feet could WIN a contest. I agree. I also say that even if
you are the<br>
loudest station on the air in order to WIN a contest you still need to hear<br>
all the 3 element tri-banders on the air. QSO's mean points. You
aren't<br>
going to do that with a good receiver. You need the best receiver to
back<br>
up that loud voice. If you truely want to WIN.<br>
