Re: [IRCA] Wellbrook Large Aperture Loop Antenna ALA100LN

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

On the other hand Walt, some years ago KKOL-1300 was logged from 
coastal Hokkaido using about 16 feet of wire formed into a loop 
around a window, feeding an ALA100, and driving the old Dymek 
DR-333.  It's a pretty nice antenna amplifier, even sometimes with a 
sub-20 foot aperture.

(and come to think of it, my tentative WBOB test was using an ALA100 
driven with a 54" on a side copper pipe loop)
