Well my homebrew 2m diameter 160m mag loop outperforms my ALA-1530 Wellbrook Loop on TB every time. It often beats my Bevs also! Dave _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ...
Hi Dave, Can you please elaborate a bit more on your 2m dia 160m loop? 73 Mark, PA5MW _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK

How well does this antenna perform in a City environment like mine on top of a 50 foot tower? Stay on course, fight a good fight, and keep the faith. Jim K9TF/WA9YSD _______________________________
I am experimenting with a small one meter square loop. It is 5 turns of with 50 ohm coax. Using air variable cap to resonate the 5 turn loop. I have it setup in my basement on a tripod with small TV

When you say quieter, is that comparing signal to noise on a common signal, or just listening to the level of noise raw from the two antennas? 73, Guy _______________________________________________
I built it in one evening using two pieces of scrap 1x3 lumber for spreaders. I pounded in four large wire staples to hold the wire to the spreaders and threaded both loops through them. The five wir
I made some signal to noise measurements last night between my short BOG and LOOP. Local (100-300 miles away) cw signals. The Loop, which is still living in my basement, is within 3DB of the BOG. I w
Dave, This is a great topic as there are a lot of us on small lots active on topband needing what ever edge we can find....... Do you have this loop you've designed published where we can see it? I k
A comparison of the Wellbrook product which is a magnetic loop is not a good one to a AY loop or other low angle directive receive antenna. Mag loops are not "directive" in the same way they only hav
BCB work would be good for the Wellbrook and I suspect that is their target market. Sent from my iPad _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK

Nice for nulling strong local point source noise but that's it. It will enable qsos not possible otherwise and some DX I suppose but Wellbrook is not a good choice for any serious DX work. No mag ant
