Here's another idea:
Custom made, 5ft square, rotatable loop using Wellbrook ALA-100 amp "...so far it looks to be a fine replacement for my 700 ft. NW Beverage antenna..." http://sdr-1000.blogspot.com/2006/07...0-antenna.html __________________________________________________ ____________ "Seeing-I-dawg" wrote in message ... Do you currently use a longwire or dipole or have the real estate for one? Have you been considering the ALA1530+ instead? I exchanged emails with Wellbrook about using the ALA100 with my current 70M fullwave Horizontal loop. About Horizontal loops http://www.cebik.com/wire/hl.html http://www.cebik.com/fdim/atl1.html http://www.cebik.com/wire/horloop.html About ALA100 http://www.wellbrook.uk.com/ALA100b.html The ALA100 will allow me to use a coax feeder instead of the noise prone 450ohm ladder-line and dispense with the antenna tuner/matchbox. Per Wellbrook, "You may also find that a smaller vertical loop with ALA100 will give better directivity for MW plus very high gain at HF. The ALA100 will out perform the ALA1530+ , because the loop area is much larger." So if you are considering a ALA1530+ and are currently occupying real estate with a long-wire or dipole, you may consider joining the ends with the ALA100 for a loop in either the horizontal or vertical plane. Here's to the '06/'07 DXing season! Post your logs and good luck. |
