Hi all: Doing some testing tonight, the Crate Loop continues to couple with the Sony 7600GR and various Ultralights better than the big 28x42 inch loop. Must be the geometry or other factor at any rate, anyone using a portable/Ultralight for LW might want to give it a look. Also, it tunes up to about 750 khz, and is better than the MW Crate Loop up to that point thanks to the additional turns of wire (61 versus 24).
I reported earlier that the Crate Loop, when passively coupled to a Quantum Loop with the LW head, was outperforming a roof-mounted LF Engineering H-900 whip. It was, but I think the H-900 whip was having some serious QRM problems this afternoon, which is par for the course around here in my townhouse development. However, tonight the whip is once again doing much better than the Crate Loop/Quantum Loop combo, so someone must have turned off their noisemaker. 73 Kevin Schanilec Bainbridge Island, WA _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
