Tyler-Think about a 10 meter full wavelength loop inside 1/2 inch pvc laying on your roof. I used one for many years on rs10 and 15. A little more gain and less directive than a dipole. The length will be 1005/F(mhz) 73 Bob W7LRD Seattle

I just bought a 10 meter preamp from Advanced Receiver Research. I was planning on making a 10 meter dipole and feeding the voltage supply for the mast mounted preamp up the coax. Will this be enough to hear the bird?

Im having really poor luck with my inverted V antenna.. its not very high up but only on a very high pass will it hear the beacon on 29.502. What is every one else using?

The full wave loop really works well. I use it for field day and it really does the job. Really easy to build, easy to transport, and cost you can't beat. What more could you ask?
