Greetings,

Could someone tell me what the "top 10" SSB/CW (non-FM only) birds are that are operational and most popular these days?

I've been looking at these antennas:

*http://www.dxengineering.com/parts/msq-436cp30 http://www.dxengineering.com/parts/msq-436cp30*

Are these antennas reasonable choices? Should I get preamps right away or hold off for awhile? (I planned on using two runs of RG-213, about 50'.)

I'm working on a homebrew az/el rotation system: http://blog.radioartisan.com/frankenrotator/

Thanks in advance for the help.
