Hi Doug,
I have talked with several hams using the K9AY. Apparently it is somewhat
ground dependent, and thus results are all over the board. I don't have any
level ground here in the mountains. After some discussion, I was discouraged
from trying a Hi Z or 4 Square. My Beverages work wonderfully, but they are
in the woods and tree limbs are constantly bringing them down. I have a
rotatable Flag antenna but I must say, so far the SALA is almost as good as
the Beverages and a lot better than the Flag.

Dale,
Have you any idea how the Shared Apex Loop Array compares with the K9AY
or Hi-Z 4 Square RX antennas?

While on the subject of RX antennas:
I have been working with my Shared Apex Loop Array= SALA:
http://www.arraysolutions.com/Products/sal_array.htm
I have the 20' version.
While I am not yet finished optimizing, I am quite pleased. The array
appears to work about like my 400' Beverages, but takes up only a 40X40'
square.
On the AM band, I can be aiming NE towards Asheville NC and receiving that
station. By hitting the flip switch or rotating to SW, an Atlanta station
comes in. F/B is best on low angle arrival stations. Worth looking into.
