Re: Aziloop
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

Hi Christoph,
Yes I need the (remote) preamp nearly all the time to get sufficient s/n over-ride not helped by feeder length of <200m.. Multi-joined RG6 most over 30 years old with loss about 4dB at

Re: Aziloop
That's exactly how it is! Thank you, John, for the solid explanation.
I am fascinated that despite the relatively small size of your AziLoop, you are often able to compare it with the Beverage and

Re: Aziloop
Bill, My reply crossed with yours. Glad your results are better. My nulls in both loop and K9AY modes are very close to the bearing -180deg as expected, when f/b is optimised

Re: Aziloop
Hi Bill,
We have not heard further from you so I assume you have not improved your f/b.
I have been using my Aziloop in K9AY mode for a year now and always managed to get groundwave f/b ratios

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

I don't doubt. But I'm retired and have the time. However, the scourge of

Re: "active antenna preamplifiers" in ham radio May 1986
With my short E-field probes, I've never tried paralleling JFETS. I need
to try that someday with the J-310's. I usually follow those with a simple
emitter follower to establish 50-ohms for the

Re: "active antenna preamplifiers" in ham radio May 1986
If you want unbelievable nulls, that happen in about 5 seconds, buy a Perseus 22. You can also manually steer the signals with it to. If you are using verticals they need to be spaced about 200'

Re: Aziloop
As a constructor, I'd also agree, however in this case I'd be tempted to buy.
If you price up how much time, effort and cost, that would be required to develop and build your own version, with

Although the basic concepts and principles are sound, things have moved on over the 40+ years that have passed since the articles were published.

Re: Aziloop
Well, the truth be known, I mostly use the 0.5-meter "shielded" loop for
DF'ing RFI. It's great for that. But, yes, the null is bidirectional.

Understand, Simon. In retirement, US $$$$ are not an option for me.
That's why, whenever possible, I build my own.

Re: Aziloop
If you are searching for nulls, I find a "shielded" 0.5-meter loop made of
0.5-inch copper tubing hard to beat. Five internal turns, the center of
