It's interesting, but I haven't yet found a, "too big circumference" with the ALA. It seems to be an extremely robust piece of equipment which allows virtually any size to work. The biggest I've used was about 50' x 20', and also 2 loops of 30' x 20'. Not sure what happens if it is too large from the point of view of performance. 73,...Walt
