Waking up a very sleepy thread...I too have just got a Yaesu 840ft.
I am not looking to transmit with it, just receive. I can hear 20 meters ok with my 11 meter antenna. However 80 meters and 40 meters is not very good.
I have limited space in my patio area at my townhouse so I am looking for an antenna that I can hang up in a spare bedroom upstairs for reception. Would this antenna work ok? Would I need to worry about tuning it?
