What is the minimal antenna you can use on 10m to hear the AO7 downlink in Mode A? I have a homebrew G5RV type antenna up and can't hear AO7 on it at all. What kind of antennas are others using on 10m for mode A?

Hi John,

I use an MFJ 4-foot, loaded whip feeding an ARR low-noise preamp at the base. Works great.
