      Good Day. First of all Thank you for your service to us.
      I run a few nets in the morning and on Sunday afternoon. Can you tell me please how to disconnect from your S.D.R.
      I think I found it once but could not remember what I did. I thought by just closing it would do it. Thanks for the assistance. 73’s. Keith

      Paul,
      I would select a receive antenna based on my limitations. It seems all antennas are a compromise of circumstances. For example, do you have HOA restrictions that limit or forbid antennas on a building or grounds? Does your general real estate size limit your antenna consideration? Do you wish to use an antenna for portable or mobile operations, or fixed station only? Do you have noise or interference problems that you are trying to reduce? And of course what range of frequencies do you wish your antenna to receive?

      So think about these questions and if an antenna is not determined for you by your answers, I’ll work with you to decide what will work for you.
