Just got this combo for Christmas, hooked it up and am getting

Seems like a great combo.

Congratulations Count, pretty exciting isn't it? I fired up my old RCA
Victor 'Strato-World' yesterday coupled with my penta-loop. Can you
pick up 700WLW out of Cincinnati? You should be able to. Have fun :-)
Thanks,
Yes, can pick up WLW in Cinncy very well, as well as WBBM out of
Chicago. Also picking up WSB Atlanta, WBT in Charlotte. Looking to
see how many stations and states East of the Mississippi that I can
DX.


There's a challenge...

Actually the loop does less good the better the radio is,
not that it's ever useless.

But the SRIII already has a pretty good impedance match to
free space, and so it can't be improved as much as a worse
radio, by the loop.

The time to check it is in the daytime. At night all signals
are strong, loop or no loop. Selectivity pays more than
sensitivity at night.
