Readers of rec.radio.shortwave may be interested to check out my lastest
posting on my SDR-1000 blog. I had the opportunity last week to do a
"hands-on" comparison between a Winradio g313e receiver and my Flex-Radio
SDR-1000. My friend and I concentrated on medium wave DX ability of the
rigs, both for daytime DX with the locals at full power, and prior to
sunrise for trans-Pacific MW splits.

I will also soon be posting an entry unrelated to the SDR, but hopefully
still of interest to radio enthusiasts-- the results of a direct "A-B"
comparison between a Kiwa-hotrodded Sony ICF-2010 and an Eton E1 portable.

If you are talking 5 ft on a side for your Wellbrook loop, then your
results are similar to mine in that this seems to be all the ALA 100
will take without losing gain on the high end of the HF band.

How do you bring the wires back to the ALA100? I came up with two
possibilities:

http://www.lazygranch.com/images/radio/3loop2.gif

The advantage of 3loop2 is that you don't have wire that is
perdendicular to the rest of the loop.

Also, what is the spacing between your loop wires?

Getting back to the SDRs, it would have been a more interesting review
if an analog radio were thrown into the mix. Also saving some audio
clips would be useful.
