Steve: I also use the LA 350 in my New York City apartment (Manhattan) -
a worst-case scenario SWL location! Like you, I find it superior to the
wires I've tried, which seem to deliver more noise than signal. At times
I'm amazed at what the loop captures;. Perhaps it's just propogation over
location, but the LA 350 seems to be very happy with my Drake SW8. Cheers.
