Here is a list of stations that I used to further check my AZIloop.? I used my trusty Perseus and got better results than from the Apache.? I believe the AZI loop is working ok. I believe low nulls are caused by my SAL and tower being close by.? I will experiment with longer and higher (1 to 2 feet off the ground) and see if that helps the null.

Hi Dave.. totally agree..when comes to antennas I hate to buy!!
However, not all feel the need to do so, or have the time? to do.
(Dave you are on rsgb technical, you have no doubt? seen my thread on short marconi T for 160m and the quest? to improve, so on same page. (Getting better btw, vk’s on ft8 now.))
The “ standard? loop” has short falls .. bi directional being one..(hence the k9ay/? azi- loop.)? Ie yes ( standard loop) stunning null, but not much use if ( example) dx is north and qrm ( from local station) is south.
