Richard, I use a vertical antenna, for transmitting its great, does a

job, but for receive, with the noise in the neighborhood, its not the

reduced enough to hear the weaker signals.


Hi Tony,

Leaving that aside for others to comment....

So, what to do, I followed the instructions for building the loop from

W2YR
and KN4LF and from this link
http://www.hard-core-dx.com/nordicdx.../coaxloop.html


There is a world of opportunity in making a mistake with this monster.
It goes a long way to do something difficult that could be done vastly
easier.

As I wrote previous I have 2 good preamps but the signals are still very
weak.


You state that there is no gap.


No, he said there was a gap. Read it again.
