[HCDX]: Quarter Wave slopers

[Patrick <pb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi everyone,
                           Im moving next week since they are selling the
one we currently rent...soooo the loop has to go but the new place has a
nice 50 ft tree with lots of branches in the back corner of the lot about 30
feet from the house. I have 85 ft one direction and 60 feet another, so I
was going to put up the Alpha Delta sloper, a few verticals and maybe some
quarter wave slopers, I've been reading up on them and they are supposed to
be good DX antennas, does anyone have any positive/negative feedback on
them? I'd like to try the K9AY loop but I dont think I have room, got the
Racal RA17 the other day, its HUGE...but a nice receiver, cant wait to put
it thru its paces next weekend at the new QTH. Also Ive noticed that PNG's
are booming here lately.
