Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 12-6

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Your experience with the ALA100 loop is intriguing to me, Walt.   I 
wonder if it's the placement of it relative to noise sources?

I've almost always found the Flags to be a noisier antenna than the 
ALA100 loop, but the directionality of the Flags (sometimes 
incidentally nulling out the noise as well as the domestics, 
sometimes not) make them the go-to antenna for overseas DX at this 
location.    Fortunately, domestic splash rather than local 
electrical noise is still usually the dominant source of interference here.

best wishes,

Nick
