Re: [IRCA] Wellbrook Large Aperture Loop Antenna ALA100LN

[Les Rayburn <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Walter,

I have an ALA1530 S+ that performs well, but again with low signal levels overall. S/N ratio is great and I get really good bi-directional nulls with this antenna on a rotor. 

Hoping the ALA100LN will provide more signal level that the Flag Iâm using now. 

Donât think the bi-directional nature of the antenna will be an issue. With the exception of flamethrowers like WSB 750 in Atlanta, I donât have a high number of pests to the East that are blocking reception of desired stations in the West. The âproblem childrenâ tend to be more North of my location, or South with Cubans. 

Fingers crossed. 

73,
