In this Contest i have compared three simple 10 Meter Antennas for the DX capability, from the QTH JO45DP

The best antenna for the weary camper is the J-Pole.

the faster the building, the faster the first glass of beer.

the legs high and Chat.

The C-Pole you still have to adjust the length depending on location.

At a DX Contest, nothing goes better than the loop.

10 Meter vertical C-Pole

also a rapidly built up antenna, if you have unraveled the wire.

almost the same as the J-Pole, but less QRN.

sometimes the same signal, sometimes a bit less than the J-Pole, but not much, regardless of whether Europe or DX

10 Meter vertical J-Pole Antenna

i can install the Wire-J-pole in seconds in a plastic-tube.

the antenna works fine Europe and DX.

my favorit for the normal weekend

10 Meter vertical fullsize Loop

Europe is almost the same as the c-pole, or a bit less.

DX, what can I say? the difference always surprises me.

USA, depending on whether east or west, at least 3 to 7 db more.

South America, 5 to 10 db and more.

Japan 5 db more, VK 10 db more than j and c-pole.
