All:

I recently spoke to a ham who was using an active loop antenna for low-band reception on 80 and 160 meters. He said the signal-to-noise ratio was far better on the magnetic loop than it is on low-band dipoles. Being directional, it can also be rotated to null the noise.

I was thinking about getting one for LF and MF frequency monitoring which I'm hoping could double as a low band receiving antenna. Pixel Technologies makes one that covers LF through HF.

See - http://www.pixelsatradio.com/product/shortwave-magnetic-loop-antenna/

Anyone using one of these for low-band reception?

Tony
