For those interested in how a new, stand-alone 7.5" loopstick XHDATA D-808 portable stacks up against a D-808 inductively boosted by a 17" Monster FSL, the same 2 minute segment of 1017-A3Z in Nuku'alofa, Tonga was recorded on both models from 1304-1306 yesterday at the Rockwork 3 ocean cliff near Manzanita, Oregon. Both models were raised up on standard 4' PVC bases. and all other conditions (recording level, etc.) were equalized.
Both the 7.5" loopstick D-808 and the Monster FSL-assisted D-808 start off their recordings with Tonga dominant over the Australian station 1017-2KY, which initially attempts to make it a horse race with A3Z but folds badly in the clutch.
The stand-alone 7.5" loopstick D-808 portable's reception of the two stations is linked at https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/xw0vuzpbqyg2gc0ekh7s2tdzm5n6r7l0
The reception of a D-808 boosted by a 17" Monster FSL is linked at https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/r6yrwe7pzze6kw59qnzrbg8c704kg1l2
By the way, the 7.5" loopstick D-808 transplant operation is one of the easiest such modifications to perform in the history of portable DXing. There are two ideally-situated terminal connections to solder in a loopstick transplant, presumably because the Chinese engineers (or reverse engineers?) used this system to test out various loopsticks.
