Just had a look at the CCW website to buy another VLF/LF/HF active vertical antenna and much to my shock and dismay it was in the discontinued list!! Sales drives survival so I'm guessing that it wasn

looking for advice / suggestions ... I have the CCW loop antenna + with DC power unit. That is connected to sdrplay box. I monitor from 160m - 2m and am well pleased with the results across this range

The initial results of a comparison between a 2 metre sides cardioid loop (660 ohm resistor in top leg) and loop on ground with 6 metre sides both fed with CCW Beverage amplifier are a slight improvem

LAA+ now running a 1.2m loop from 10mm refrigeration pipe. One big difference is that I'm having to reduce the RF Gain on SDRUno far more than with the Kunifer pipe, which I presume means the Refriger

Good morning, Interesting topics on here. I am looking forward to better weather to proceed with the quest for improved signal to noise ratio particularly on Top Band. I have tried most of the usual s

Hi Chris, Hope this finds you well. I'm just wondering if you are having problems receiving my emails again? I have sent several since the 4th January (to both of your emails) and not received anythin

Ever since APRS Messenger was discontinued, I have been lamenting the loss of a vastly superior (compared to 300 baud AX.25 packet) HF APRS transmission mode. I discovered that the FLdigi multi-mode s

That's my four days of trekking around the UK done, Curry, Biscuits and Washing Powder all delivered to Regional Delivery Centres. Time for some antenna play! Before I pass out the £40 or so on some 8

Recently I've been working on using a Loop Antenna Amplifier + to make a cardioid loop antenna. I've already posted a few comments about it in one of the recent topics. I've now written it up as a new

Reading the cardioid loop posts with interest, is it worth earthing a conventional loop (With LAA+)? If so, would it be better at point where coax enters the house or at the base of the loop? Thanks

Recently on the forum there has been a discussion on building large (2m or 6 foot side) cardioid loops for 160m DX operation. This needs a loop amplifier with an input impedance around 450 ohms. Today

Had the CCW LAA+ up and running for a few weeks now and been really happy with it. I've been powering it with the Bias Tee from an RSP1A. Treated myself to the RSPDX and there was a difference, not hu

Looking for some tips guys! Having built my first loop, I’m ready to “upgrade”. I gather that the more metal in the loop, the better? The first loop used the wire supplied with the LAA+ in an inverse

Hello i have tried the loop..as I have stated it was a poor performer..but was it?? HOWEVER..i wish to retract this.. reason.. I am using very low input impedance amps on my loops..this is because as

If you're referring to the LoG (Loop on Ground) antenna Tom, I can say I have built several and they really do work amazingly well. You wouldn't think so, but that antenna is something worth trying. I

This blog posting was in a contribution to the IRCA group. I’ve only had time to skim through this but there is info here I’ve not seen before. Might be of interest to people who like fiddling with lo

As above ..for testing of loops.. all i find are out of date stuff.. thanks Simon

So, I've had my LAA+ for awhile but initially HF performance above say 5 Mhz was pretty disappointing. Below that I was quite happy with it's performance. With that said I'm back to the drawing board

Well, the subject says it all. I’ve built my first loop. My LAA+ arrived yesterday so today I spent a couple of hours knocking up a simple loop from wire supplied with the amplifier, and scraps of woo
