Conditions were poor here this morning. My efforts to conduct side by side
testing between the SW Superloop and the new west single KAZ were limited by
poor conditions this morning. I am curious to compare the performance of the
Superloop vs. the KAZ. Both antennas were routed through the quantum Phaser
which incorporates a 10-15 dB amplifier. I will work on testing the antennas
without the Phaser.
A very preliminary observation was that the KAZ may be a bit quieter. That may
also be attributable to the lower gain of the KAZ. I am plagued by the
appearance of spurs from nearby local stations immediately post sunrise. I will
also try the KAZ with an extra KB-5 transformer instead of the FLG 100.
DU hets were heard on 594, 612, 702, 738, 774 and 1098 on both antennas. I
thought the difference between the two antennas was inconclusive and in need of
more testing.
Asian hets were heard on the NW Superloop on 594, 693, 747, 774, 828, 972 and
1566.
