Coliin, as I have the ALA loop up all of the time, along with my 2 super loops, I can categorically state that the loops (and Pennants/Flags, I'm sure), blow away the ALA loop. The ALA loop is a great all around compromise antenna, working nicely from LW to the top of the SW band. That's why I have it. For TA/TP work, however, my super loops are much, much better, and quieter, too. 73,...Walt
