Ok In that case, if possible can you compare WINS on 1010 between the 2 later tonight? ( wins near enough always there, atleast the carrier is always there.) listen on 1010 usb.. Nw facing.. Intereste

Hi What direction is the card loop facing? Simon

Hi Surely the early phasers with ptt disconnect and now the rx antennas with similar is the same? Still impedance issues .. which really dont matter anyway, as long as all wiring kept short.. After al

Hi Its very easy to protect the phaser/active antennas if using tx into phaser if thats the issue..?? The doublet should if you live in rf quiet area be quiet good rx on 160 assuming its high ish..oh

Hi Don’t forget as the year progresses the ambient noise floor on 160 will be increasing..thus making it tricky to really test the lf antennas.. Keep us informed on how it goes please.. Mag loop Simon

No ..i cant see it ( he he.) Simon

Hi Not sure if we on same page here.. I thought u we’re talking about 252khz.. Using cardioid’s on there nw or se gives me rte ireland or algeria radio..( depends upon which way loops are switched.) b

Hi Kev Glad to have helped.. Question..when u say its tamed 252 from 9+30 to less than 9..what do you mean?? I may be missing something here.. At my qth with the cardioid loops broadside with switchab

Hi Was about to say use air con tube!! More maluable..better quality copper and cheaper I use single and twin turn mag loops for trx. The twin turn is for 160-80m..only reason its a twin turn is to ke

No i use 1/4 w ..but am changing to 2w carbon just to make a more sturdy connection that can be encased in heatshrink tubing.. Simon

Didnt we in uk just get told to hide under a table if all hell between usa and ex ussr took place? Good to know that my solid pine table is radiation proof..lol Steve..pirate radio?? One needs to pm m

Hi Steven Indeed very interesting..thank you, that took some time to write! Mag loop Simon

Yep No yanks on 160m But mw lively.. 1010 interesting..atleast 2 other usa stations competing against WINS.. Shame they don’t announce who they are often.. No make that 3 other stations competing agai

Opps..i think we also have answered at similar times ..so me not seeing your ( Chris) reply.. Any way Kev..make a cardioid loop..very interesting loop..but it DOES lose its 90 degree null..so if you a

Ok Maybe i think we are are different pages.. I though kev was asking if grounding one side of normal loop will make it into cardioid loop..which it will not ..( as I understand.) Yes i totally agree

But this will not give cardioid pattern??? No added r or l in top.. Or am I completely wrong? Simon

Sounds like you need a van!! Lol Or ex mil signals vehicle??

Interesting..will listen wife allowing later too.. Simon

Use the coax..join inner and outer together..

Wondering..just had a listen on mw for stateside am broadcast stations..2am.. broadside big cardioid loops facing nw from london. atleast 20 odd carriers from usa..( probably many more as stopped look
