One of the oddest DX catches I got with the 20ft loop is

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.
