Re: [IRCA] Antenna rotors for magnetic loops (W6LVP loop)

[STEVE <ratzlaffsteve@xxxxxxxxx>]

I realize Mark (or anyone else) never asked, but I've done extensive 
experiments with the W6LVP loop and preamp. It is poor for MW and only 
starts to do well at HF. Due to its high input impedance it does not 
match the single-turn loop until up at HF. If your interest is primarily 
MW I do not recommend the W6LVP setup.

(I've done the same for the newer MFJ 1886 loop and preamp and that one 
is even worse--it doesn't even have decent gain at MW.)
