Default Picking out a correct antenna for a Sony World Band ReceiverICF-SW7600GR.

Yes, AN-LP1 is a great antenna... Is it directionnal ? Hum... I did not
see any mesurable improvement by rotating the antenna on site (without
changing windows I mean). On lower frequencies, it is a great performer,
but above 15 MHz, an external longwire can beat it easily... I have both
and use the antenna that gives the better performance on a given situation.


Loops are *almost* entirely omnidirectional. Only on a small angle, when
you look directly into the 'hole', the reception is minimal, to zero.

This feature you can use to 'null-out' interference. Comes in megahandy
at times when you have two stations on the same frequency for example.
