Locked Re: Is this Wellbrook wide aperture loop faulty?


 

Hello Martin, Alan, Andrew Ikin and all that contributed to this lengthy thread.

Friday, December 31, 2021

Sincerest thanks to all, I moved the loop into the woods yesterday and today found 135 feet of RG-58 on a drum in the attic, so joined it with good branded (Telegartner) connectors to the existing coax. Loop is half the circumference of the original, same original injector box, same linear supply, same Kiwi. Unbelievable difference, the satellite stuff is switched on save for the SMPS for the PA to which I am adding ferrites. NEVER has this Wellbrook loop performed so well, NEVER has it pulled in anything much on 20 meters, and as for the lower bands it is darn near as good on 40 meters as my high, full size dipole.

See for yourself:

Remarkable and thanks for all the support, suggestions and patience. All the best, let's hope for a less restrictive and a healthy New Year, all the very best to all.


Best regards,
