Re: [IRCA] Loop comparisons / suggestions

[Steve Ratzlaff <ratzlaffsteve@xxxxxxxxx>]

In addition to the loops already mentioned, there's the MFJ 1888 
broadband amplified loop. I bought one some time back mainly just to see 
how well it worked at LF, which is my primary use for receive-only 
amplified loops. The MFJ loop does not work at LF despite the 
typographical claim in the ads in QST magazine claiming "reception to 50 
kHz" operation. In fact it loses gain even at the lower part of the AMBC 
band. It works OK at HF though still has less gain than the Wellbrook. 
Note too the W6LVP broadband amplified loop does not work at LF either, 
despite their claims, compared to the Wellbrook and RF Pro loops.
