Re: Magnetic loop vs Dipole Antennas
Most research / experiments of this nature have been focused on X and O wave propagation, typically using NVIS propagation on bands around 5MHz.
Some notes here

Good points Simon Martin, all acknowledged. Recently snagged two Pixel/DXE-RF-Pro1A (or B?) s in storage, will play with soon! Fun Fun! Somehow I got on this multi-turn resonate tangent i n my earlier

Re: Magnetic loop vs Dipole Antennas
Who can afford to put an antenna 40-65 ft above the ground? Not me...not on
retirement. I guess I am stuck with my MLA (Magnetic Loop Antenna) that
will talk all over and is quiet as a mouse when it

Re: Magnetic loop vs Dipole Antennas
Is anyone aware of a reference that describes the fading improvements that might be had by using an elliptically polarized antenna instead of a linearly polarized antenna to receive low-angle skywave

Re: Magnetic loop vs Dipole Antennas
Great info and when taken in as a whole, it does indeed confirm what I'm seeing.
Excellent links, too....thanks.

Re: Improvements to "horizontal room loop"?
I agree with Simon, adding a shield introduces lots of additional problems (the main one being lowering the loop self resonant frequency due to the additional capacitance) and it doesn't improve the

Re: A few questions about loop construction.
Hello mystery person ( no name??)
Can you get the loop ( say 1m dia) outside at all? Or no roof?
Cos if you can not, then good luck..
Noise cancellation devices work well, but only on one source

Re: Improvements to "horizontal room loop"?
Hi
Shielded vs non shielded.
No difference at all.. dont bother with shielded..been tested many times..waste of time and effort..
Simon g0zen ( mag loop Simon.) and yes i have made both..

Hi Jay and All:Over the past several years I have been using some of the available DSP Noise Reduction technology from various sources. I did a video some time ago using the BHI unit. I'd say that

Well, Jock:? I have just discovered this *groups.io* loop forum, and found so many familiar references, authors, and plenty more I didn't' know about.

Re: Improvements to "horizontal room loop"?
In terms of the MFJ there are times it will help and times it will make things worse and that is exactly why people's comment about it vary. It does have the benefit of pre-selection (although broad

Jay,
Thanks for your reply.

Re: A few questions about loop construction.
1) Probably ok. May affect the null depth, but the signal will still be there.
2) Two smaller loops of the same total area as one bigger loop will have 2 advantages:
- better response at high

Probably not in its current setup. Usually the best thing you can do is to get that wire away from household RFI and while outdoors is the obvious way to do that it is not easy. Best thing usually is
