[HCDX] Vertical antennas

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

Has anyone experimented with verticals for receiving? I have built a 40
foot vertical in the backyard with a series of Ground rods for a Ground
Plane. It is a very quiet antenna I find with somewhat of a lobe to the
North. The vertical is a wire up a spruce tree and a 15 foot pole at the
top. Any thoughts on what I could build for a loading coil?  How about a
series of verticals for phasing? I wonder how this would compare with
other antennas?
