Kiwa MW Loop - see http://www.dxing.info/equipmen t/kiwa_mw_loop_plimmer.dx -- ------------------ Have you ever used a McKay Dymek DA5, or DA7 or the Polamar loop? The DA5 has a ~12" feritte bar and the DA7 has an ~18" feritte bar. While here in the USA we have a "lot" of MW stations, Europe is much worse. A friend spent a year in Europe, in France near Germany, and her DX398 was nearly useless on MW. Here in the USA most MW are relativly low power. I have a MW on 770KHz about 3 miles from me that is the bane of my existance. It sneaks into nearly everything. The only good part is they are daylight only and they cleaned up the TX last winter. They had nasty spurs all over the MW band. The spurs were at the same spot on receivers with different LO/IF chains. The DA5 does a usefull job of nulling out offending stations, not perfect but given the typical garbage on MW here these days I seldom listen. I am currently intrigued by a 10W "Traffic Information Station" that is ~20 miles away, working into a 20' vertical antenna with a poor ground system that I am receiving S3 after some improvements to my ground system.
