One of the oddest DX catches I got with the 20ft loop is
http://www.lazygranch.com/sound/lax_530_etgravel.wav
I was parked on "the gravel"
N37.43225 W115.44496
near Area 51. I did a search for unknown NDBs, which I did find though
they are now turned off. The next search was to see if they had any
TIS. Now TIS is not all that odd at military installations, though I
doubted Groom Lake would have one. Searching the typical TIS
frequencies I picked up the TIS for LAX. That is about 280 miles away.
However, you need to realize how "quiet" Central Nevada is regarding
RF. Even in the middle of MOAs and next to the largest continental
military reservation, there is much less hash than even a mid-size
town puts out.

Wow, that is an amazing clip considering the circumstances. What was
the time of day and the date? Was this anomalous propagation?

M...Sushi,

Glad that you like the Wellbrook ALA100 Loop Antenna
so much and that it meets your Radio Listening needs.

I would Expect the Wellbrook ALA100 Loop Antenna to out
perform the Palomar MLB-1 with a 100 Foot Antenna.

For $230 more in Cost and at ~ Five Times (5X) the price.

Wellbrook - ALA100/M L/M Aperture Loop Antenna
http://www.wellbrook.uk.com/ALA100Ma.html
North American Version with PSU
http://www.wellbrook.uk.com/buy.html
Price : $258.00 +S&H $30.00

Palomar Engineers - MLB-1 "Magnetic Longwire Balun"
http://www.palomar-engineers.com/MLB-1/mlb-1.html
Price : $50.00 +S&H $8.00

Plus for your Radio Listening interests and needs the
Welbrook is a whole lot more 'portable' then trying to
Erect a 100 Foot Wire Antenna on the Side of the Road.

I bought my Wellbrook before the Bush Crime Family devalued the
dollar. Sure, we pay more money for high quality goods from the UK and
EU, but just think about the bargains we now get for the "cough cough"
made in China imports.

If it wasn't for the weak dollar, gas would cost about 30% less. Every
time those morons at the Fed cut interest rates, gas gets more
expensive.

In 2001 US Dollars the would be
US Price : $181 +S&H $21 = Total $ 202 US

Oops the Made-in-America Palomar Engineers
MLB-1 "Magnetic Longwire Balun"
http://www.palomar-engineers.com/MLB-1/mlb-1.html
In 2001 US Dollars the would still
be - Price : $50 +S&H $8 = Total $ 58 US

Which means that the Wellbrook would still be $144
more in Cost about Two and a Half Times (2.5X) the
price in 2001 US Dollars.

Now that $144 can buy a lot of Quality "Made-in-the-USA" :
Matching Transformers; Pure Copper Wire; and Coax Cable;
to make All American Wire Antennas with . . .
