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. |
