Hi Tom,
Yes, I have had good success with the Alex Loop on PSK-31 using 3 to 5
watts out from a high rise condo while on vacation. Bands I used was 20
& 17 meters. I have not had much luck on SSB or CW no matter what
antenna I used because of too much steel, concrete & man made noise.
The loop cuts out a lot of the noise, but PSK just seems to work so many
more contacts than on phone or CW.
If your apartment has a lot of wood you might be able to do well on
other modes, but little Alex Loop does work well. MFJ also makes one,
but you have to change the loop depending on which band you are on.
Also have one of those too, but like the Alex Loop better for traveling.
73,
Reed W4JZ
