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



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.)

I don't see any recent discussions about antenna rotors in my searches.

What would be a good rotor for use with the W6LVP?

I've never used a rotor, so I don't really know what to look for in regards to the best features for AM DXing.
