Hi Christoph,
re. Loop and Beverage comparisons
My 160m - 220m beverages are usually about 3dB better in s/n than the K9AY loop on 1.8 and 3.5MHz in their design directions, as one would expect from the comparitive RDFs, but there are days and directions where the K9AY or conventional loop is as good, possibly because of steerable direction, nulling noise or favourable pattern. It appears to work comparitively well in disturbed conditions.
