Hello all, with the loop turned to the north south the signal to noise ratio is better than 10 db, I'm receiving more 'stations especially from the north and I'm very curious to check if the reception T/A is still possible. In the next days, I will try to install a MFJ 1026 (Thanks Roelof) with a mini-whip as noise antenna to try to mitigate the noise I'm receiving from the east on ALA100LN and I'd also like to install a triangular loop with LZ1AQ amplifier.
For now, here are my logs over 1500 km. 73, Maurizio Marini IW2GOB, Lodi
