Re: [IRCA] TP for 23Aug09: DU all the way



Colin..if I may chime in here.  1) Congrats !!

2) The E-1 is a fine rx, but for any kind of serious MW DX it needs an external antenna rather than its noise grabbing omni whip.

I use the E-1 here with whatever Phased BOG system I decide to use..either temporary ones aimed wherever..or my mainstay long ones along the northern edge of my land aimed about 273 deg.

The E-1 for domestic DX with an external antenna can get about 99% of what the R8A can get with the same antenna system.

For foreign DX, the E-1 can pull in splits, but the R8A is somewhat better at it as the filters seem to be a bit better, IMHO.

73 KAZ suggesting that if you're limited to indoor antennas you use some kind of loop with that E-1
