[SEDXC] Results using the Pixel Technologies receiving loop on 160 in ARRL DX-WF4W

[Tad Williamson]

All these were made listening with the Pixel Technolgies RF PRO-1A Receiving loop and my bazooka for transmit.  Some with the differential kicked in on the K3 and some without.  The receiving loop does make a difference---condtions were very good too.  After this weekend, it pushes my worked count on 160 Meters to 75.  I usually work a few Caribbean stations and one or 2 Europeans on any contest weekend where I work 160.
 
I'm on about a third of an acre with the loop mounted above my beam at about 45'
I obviously have no room for beverages (the antenna kind) and I still haven't put my K9AY up yet.  The RF PRO-1A is a little pricey, but boy it sures works great for me--Your mileage may vary.
