Re: [IRCA] Loop antenna question

[Chuck Hutton <charlesh3@xxxxxxx>]

LZ1AQ's site is one of the best for technical info.

I have not used his products but know they are well designed.

And neither the complexity nor surface mount technology are factors for the user: all boards are mounted and tested per the product description.

Whoa - never seen these before -- way more complex than the Wellbrook
products --
which may or may not result in better performance - but one does not know
until one tries.

Dozens and dozens of surface mount components on these boards -
I imagine the boards are pre-populated - there are only a few
of us that have the gear for doing surface mount (I have a HAKKO rework
station...)

Good value by the looks of it.
