I use a plain old Diamond RH-77CA whip with my VR-500 to hear EAMs on 11.175 and 8.992 MHz, as well as HF Aero stations. The signals come in surprisingly well, & I've been using this combo for years. Once when 8.992 was active, I went into the basement, and the signal was still coming in good just with that whip. Pretty cool! Also, I use this setup to hear hijacked mil sats on 255.55 MHz NFM, again just with the Diamond whip and some careful orientation while outside. 73 Erik KA3FYU
