Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 11-12... Anemic

Hi all:

Last night I got a 9x10 foot Slinky Super Loop installed in my shack, and
it appears that I am now able to actually hear TPs and contribute here! 
Not sure what size Super Loop it equates to, but it really pulls it in, is
deathly quiet even in the urban RF zoo here, and has nulls off the back
(with an adjustable pot) like I have never seen before.

I agree with Gary's comments and list.  972-KK was remarkably muted,
although 693 was pretty good here.  China CR1 on 639, verified with the
//5030, was quite good here, with 640-KFI completely nulled out on the
Super Loop.  I had brief audio on 738, and by the sounds of the music was
Taiwan Fisheries.
