Dale, I tried to find that design you referenced on the technology.
fanshawec.on.ca web site, but cannot find that site. Can you point me to
the design?

HAS ANYONE HAD EXPERIENCE IN USE OF THE WELLBROOK ALA1530 ANTENNA
STATESIDE?
I'VE READ SEVERAL REVIEWS ON THE ANTENNA, BUT THEY ALL COME FROM EUROPE.
THE
ANTENNA REVIEWS VERY WELL AND I COULD USE ONE THAT IS SMALLL LIKE IT AND
LOW
NOISE, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT ITS ABILITY TO RECEIVE SIGNALS OTHER
THAN
RATHER POWERFUL BROADCAST STATIONS.
THANKS FOR ANYONES COMMENTS AND ADVISE.

I built my own and was very impressed with its LW and MW performance- in
fact
right up through 15 MHz (whee I had designed the balanced preamp to
rolloff). I
have since gone to a 7' shielded loop + preamp to further enhance LF, but
the 1
meter loop beat the pants off my random wire and active whip.
These are extremely easy to build if you don't live in a hi RF
environment, and
only moderately difficult to build if you are in a hi RF environment.
I posted the pix links before, but here they are again for those that may
have
missed them:

Total cost from my well heeled junk box was around $10 or so for the
connectors
as I recall.
