LF Engineering H800 Skymatch
Thanks Axelrod for the link to the review and thanks Steve for your
impressions of the H-800. Since LF Electronics seems to tailor a lot of their products toward lowfer and MW BCB listeners, I had thought that it might well be the case that the H800 would exhibit better performance in the lower frequencies than the higher frequencies of the SW spectrum. Since my interest is primarily in HF, it seems that, although it might offer some improvement in the 120 and 90 meter bands, the H800 likely would not offer significantly improved reception over the AOR WL500 antenna I already have (unless we're talking about outdoor mounting of the H800 away from a noisy indoor environment). The WL500 is a nicely made antenna; nice performance across the SW spectrum. Easy to set up and decent on battery consumption, too. Unfortunate that AOR discontinued this fine product. Junius wrote: The H-800 is a great little antenna. I have one. It will work just fine with an SW77 or comparable portable, so long as the receiver in question has a reasonably good attenuator. In my experience, the H-800 is dynamite on MW and up to around 5 mhz. It's good from 5 mhz up to around 15 mhz, and it's performance gradually tapers off from there. At any rate, this is how I remember it...I haven't used the H-800 very much since switching over to a Wellbrook loop. It's a very good value, though. Doesn't get the attention it deserves, in my opinion. Steve |
