Hello Roger
Well, Monday night had very good conditions. There were hardly any
stations on, but those that were sounded great. I worked a DL station
who was QRP, and he was peaking at 559. Then ON4WW called me and said he
was running 1 watt. He was 559 also! He was over S9 when he ran his KW!

the last few days.
So hopefully we will see a lot more QSOs tomorrow night !

I use a 6ft diameter 4-turn loop as my 160m DX Receive antenna . . .
If it's only used on receive, you can easily make a tiny transformer between
the Loop and the coax . . . so Common Mode pickup wouldn't be a problem.

Haven't seen much in the way of public replies to this, so hope that
you've got some private ones.
For a small mag loop, I'd use the preamp at the loop, especially if
your feed line is coax.
