LF Engineering H-800 antenna
Yesterday I took down the Wellbrook 330S antenna I've been using. I
wanted to get this little chore out of the way, as I'm moving to a new home soon and will of course be taking the loop with me. I decided that, until the move, I'd put my LF Engineering H-800 antenna back into service. After doing this and reacquainting myself with the H-800, I think I'm going to have to do some more careful comparisons between it and the Wellbrook. The H-800 is surprisingly...I'd even say shockingly...good. It's markedly better than the Wellbrook below 5 mhz. Maybe this isn't so surprising, since the 330S isn't optimized for those frequencies. Still, at some point I'm going to have to do a more careful comparison of them above 5 mhz....just for the heck of it.. I did notice that reception of Radio Australia on 9580 khz on the H-800 was better than I'd heard in a long while. This confirms my impression that the H-800 is one of the best deals around on an active antenna, even though it's not particularly "talked about". If anyone's compared the H-800 to a McKay-Dymek or Dressler antenna, I'd like to know the results. Steve |
