Re: [IRCA] Upcoming Trip



If you're on the coast, Craig, it would be worth the effort to put together some sort of Flag/Superloop/Kaz. Yes, you're right, I used an ALA100, with wire around the motel balcony in Seaside, and something like that will give you a taste of coastal, but if you have the chance, nulling the domestics, even a bit, helps a lot.

If you can't fit one small telescoping pole into the luggage, then finding a tree with a branch about 10-15' high that will allow you to construct a Kaz (not a DKaz) using your FLG100 might be the way to go. I've used that in a couple of locations and been pleased with the results using about 100' total of wire.

best wishes,

Nick

I am taking a trip next month by air that will involve a few days on the Oregon coast. I was thinking of taking a Wellbrook FLG100LN and a small quantity of wire to make a mini corner fed loop. Does anyone know the practical minimum for a portable loop? I seem to remember Nick Hall-Patch using an ALA 100 (I think) from a hotel room in Seaside at the IRCA Convention many years ago, which is what inspired the idea. Any insights would be welcome. I am hoping for something reasonably portable, so I don't think a DKAZ with associated telescoping poles would fit the bill. I also recollect that Chuck Hutton erected some temporary loops at the Rockworks site near Manzanita, I think. I wonder how large they were.

Thanks!
